Hi Andrew,

regarding exchange of OIO forms. I presume that these forms are specific to 
the OIO format.  This means that foreign applications that do not use your 
form format or do not generate similar forms may not need to call them. 

May I forward my thoughts on this?

a) We can create a special dictionary for your OIO forms procedure call and we 
might name it something like OIO-HXP procedure call dictionary. 

b) All OIO specific calls will be prepended with OIO. like:

        OIO.Form.Get
        OIO.Form.Save
        OIO.Document.Get
        OIO.Document.Save
        OIO.xxxxx.xxxx

c) All these procedures will be supported in a separate server other than 
"server". e.g.

        --/hxp/oio.php
        --/hxp/oio.py
        --/hxp/oio.cgi
        --/hxp/oio.pl
        --/hxp/etc......

d) It is not compulsory to include these procedures in the default main server 
e.g. "server.py" or "server.php"

c) However, the default server MUST support a system call which returns a 
true/false telling the remote client whether the server is supporting the OIO 
calls.

d) A suggested system call for this is:   System.Server.OIO.Exists
        return type is boolen.

e) the remote client should access first the default server and call this 
procedure. If the return is true then he switches to the "OIO.xxx" server and 
start calling the OIO procedures.  If the return is false, then he either 
stops communicating or just access the default server and call the default 
procedures e.g. Person.Basic, Person.PID.List, etc.

Please let me know your own views on this.

Thanks a lot.
