- I agree. The ODF memory manager is extremely cool because you can
- recompile it to use OpenDoc, Macintosh or Windows memory managers on the
- back end. I'd like to see something similar in a TCP/Networking sink,
- wherein you can use CyberDog, OpenTransport/MacTCP, or WinSock on the back
- end, without having to worry about which one was in use (if possible - I'm
- not familiar with the CyberDog comm stuff, so I don't know what kinds of
- limitations it has).
