I have been looking at the code for almost about 3 days. :( It seems NOT that easy to understand, especially protocol 30, well something binary, global variable,...bla...bla.... But I'm still wanna take a closer look at the code. So what I'm planning is to just document what I have seen and think. I'll prepare a wiki page and update when I have a further understanding of the code. It's almost 23:30 :), I'll create the page and provide the link tomorrow. I hope that I can get more help on this. Any advice/suggestion/help is mostly appreciated. Thanks. > > ..wayne.. -- Daniel -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
