A couple of approaches to distributing BMessages have been taken that I
know of: In 1996 I developed BMorb (http://www.halcyon.com/jrashmun/
bmorb.html), which consists of a class derived from BMessenger, a file
type that contains only attributes, and a daemon to do the routing, and
somewhat later, Jeremy Friesner developed MUSCLE (http://www.bebits.com
/app/962), which, when I last looked at it, was a good deal more
intrusive into the development process, but is supported on non-BeOS
systems. Jeremy won a prize of chocolate chip cookies (from Jon Watte,
or was it Marco?) for his demo using MUSCLE for remote desktop control,
probably in 1997 or 1998.
