- First important point is that with the new library, the
- same software modules will be pluggable into clients or
- servers. The local file reading in the client will be
- the same as the file reading in the server. Same with newsm
- so you can chose what you put into a gateway and what goes
- straight into the client. And given that each module turns
- out (TIN may be bigger) to be pretty small I know where I
- will want the code -- I will want my client to be able
- to handle anything without recourse to a gateway. (I have
- more than 640k.) But I also know that I'll want to set
- up gateways for everything for situations like being
- on the end of a phone line without SLIP, or being in
- a .com like PARC which requires a gateway.
-
- If someone IS going to hack TIN into a news access module,
- please merge it with the NEW one not the old -- WWWizards
- can look at
- http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/Library/HTNews.c
- (the directory is browsable) but only for reference ..
- don't build anyting till the files are all released.
-
- BTW the line mode browser worked with the new library,
- now I am putting in MIME parsing and HTTP2 so it is in peices again.
