If that is the case, would it then be possible for me to transfer my activity at home to Gnus at work by appending my dribble file from home to the one at work? Or if appending is not good enough, then one might even be able to merge the two files so that (seen (100 . 200)) and (seen (50 . 150)) would be merged to (seen (50 . 200)). That would of course assume that I have named my servers the same in both places, but that is no problem. -- Martin Geisler VIFF (Virtual Ideal Functionality Framework) brings easy and efficient SMPC (Secure Multi-Party Computation) to Python.
