An option could be adding a new opcode telling the server that it should send RRead's contigiously, within some given some range. (will require an ordered transport, since RRead lacks an position field, but quite trivial to implement). What do you think about this ? cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weigelt@metux.de mobile: +49 174 7066481 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ----------------------------------------------------------------------
