Greetings All, After many discussions over the past week or two on this topic, I've made some changes to the abstraction I proposed (more along the lines of the Wiki stuff). Hopefully tonight/this_weekend I will get around to adding thoughts to the HTML file that describes the proposal. I've had trouble replacing files in the sandbox, so I started a SourceForge project where I could post more stuff than just a zip. http://netiphany.sourceforge.net http://sourceforge.net/projects/netiphany If there is a way to "evolve" a posting to the sandbox, I would be happy to do that as well. I've noticed that the Browse CVS area is many hours behind. I guess that is by design... None the less, many updates were posted just prior to this email and I don't see them yet. Also, the CVS stats in the project page are all 0. Ignore that :) New since last time: - network hierarchy refactored by adding some base classes (the leaf classes are effectively the same). - socket classes - address_family classes - url class defined - timeout class defined (microsecs) Best, Don __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
