Agreed. After a while, sitting about telling each other how trivial
everything is to implement gets a little old, and one starts wishing
that there were some well-written, documented, packaged code around to
make the discussion relevant.

Hacking network protocol implementations in LPC is fun, but that doesn't
mean everybody should -have- to do it. Come on, folks, cough up. Cards
on the table.
Are there really several different DGD/Network-package implementations
of the FTP protocol floating around? Where? Why? Are they proprietary?
Embarassing? Undocumented? What?

We need that LPC repository thing. Was I going to do that?
