On Unix, the editor can't die without the client knowing about it and the client can't die without the server knowing about it (unless the whole client system crashes at an inoportune time -- that's the only case where keepalive packets are needed). On Windows, who knows? If the editor "zombies", then it hasn't died and the client is going to continue waiting for it to complete and the server will wait for the client to do something. There's no way to tell that condition from the editor simply waiting for the user to do something. -Larry Jones It's clear I'll never have a career in sports until I learn to suppress my survival instinct. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
