The spread business only listens to spread daemon traffic. It's not a generalised port listener: it would be mainly useful for comms between Powerpro installations on different machines (could also be used for comms between Powerpro and anything else that could route to spread: I think it's easy to construct a batch file that can send a message to a spread node, for instance. There's also a Perl binding for spread. That sound useful? Attention: PowerPro's Web site has moved: http://www.ppro.org Yahoo!
