Hi,
if the following describes your view of the client/server paradigm...

..then (and to get back to the original point) you might
want to do the same for the so-called "Preference Kit", that is,
make it a "front-end" to the kernel functions open(), close(),
read(), write() and consider that it's talking to a "server" and
everyone will be in agrement.
Amazing how we can read excellent posts and more... debatable ones
from the very same person in the same day?
[weight of servers and libraries]
Not even close since some of the libraries count in the
client/server grand scheme of things (quite a bit of libbe.so
consists of client requests to app_server or to the
registrar or... etc]
I'm not sure this issue is so paramount that I should
contribute to beat it up some more, but well here's my 2 roubles.
cd. (happy happy joy joy to find so many mails -- you had
started strong to moderate Michael, too bad you lost you
breath along the run :-)..
PS. good to see jam used now. I'll refrain from withdrawing
my "won't take suggestions" criticisement only when even more
important matters are settled though ;) (sorry for the
off-the-list reference).
