Re: Is there anybody there?

Is the client were only the display mechinism, you could use
your own protocol instead of X, and animated bitmaps would
be completely handled on teh client's end. It wouldn't
effect the esrver at all...

The server would simply say "display bitmap xxx at x,y" or something
like that... (I assume the server would simple send a map to the
client, and the client would have the bitmaps all stored locally.
Maybe.. :) )

That alone would help alot. X is a bear.
