CTRL born to be a __thin__ layer to enable configuration tools to not mess up with files directly, it handles locking correctly and does a pretty nice job in keeping 'external' stuff confined out of the server. It is __not__ ( and never will be ) THE configuration tool directly exposed. You __have__ to write a layer between it and the CTRL protocol that interfaces final users. So basically it's not the final user tool but it's a kind-of-API to isolate configuration tools from the server. - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
