I only need J for file management in this project, it's a workhorse 
that gets its commands from C#. So I don't need WD.  thought the more 
stable iterations of the project could use JDLLServer for cleanliness, 
and I still look forward to that.

I find it odd that JEXEServer would be a wrapper to JDLLServer and yet 
behave differently (SetB and GetB), or worse, obfuscate a JDLLServer 
function (SetM and GetM) by saying it's not supported. But this would 
not be my first surprise in this great software adventure.
