It's really complicated code, especially the things that deal with the network connection and filters and stuff, which just seems kinda unnecessary. I mean, the protocol is dead simple. You issue a (numbered) command, and you get a (numbered) response. At this point I feel I would have gotten further if I had just started from scratch and written a new set of primitives. This may not be totally compatible with the old version, but does anybody mind? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
