- that's what i call timing... as of today i started coding SMOS - my

- is the daemon relocatable? i need to be able to run it from a few
- different locations depending on what i'm doing...

- could i possibly hack the code to make it into a set of routines that
- i call upon when i need them? like 'sys $9000' to download a file to
- memory, etc... i can't have anything else running while writing the
- multi-tasking routines...
-
- having three processes at the same time running _is_ a lot of fun :)
