I have the impression you might want to have a look at IEEE 1278 alias "DIS protocol" - at least to steal some ideas, maybe to implement at least a subset. ACM has an implementation of this - it appears the source for the Unix version is released under the GPL. Have a look at (http://www.websimulations.com/download.htm) Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
