The feature is certainly very cool. I can even imaging a solution to the
BBitmap shared memory problem. It's more a matter of what happens when you
call DrawBitmap(). The BBitmap memory doesn't *have* to be shared with the
app_server instance that draws it. On a local machine that is quicker of
course, but it doesn't have to be that way, so apps would work unmodified.
It's a matter of the implementation of the link protocol. I don't think
making a networked version of it is a huge technical challenge. There may
or may not be invidual problems with running applications remotely, but we
cross that bridge when we get there I suppose. Most likely not until after
R1 though.
Anyways, we are certainly on the same page as to whether or not this is
cool. :-)
Best regards,
