The real killer still seems to be implementing the new server-socket semantics on Macs. For reference, the new functions needed are the following:
newListenOn:port -- new version of starting a server socket (needs a better name....)
newConnection -- return a newly connected socket, and leave the original to listen for more new connections
waitForConnectionUntil: -- already present, but would need to be updated to deal with the new kind of socket.
Can anyone *demonstrate* how to do this stuff on Macs? People keep posting that "oh there's several Mac sockets libraries" or "I could do this on a Mac, easily". Well, do it already :) At the least, if someone has he knowhow but not the resources, mail the list or SC more specifically about how it *could* be done. Many people would be quite thankful :)
Once Macs have the needed support, the rest of the pieces should follow like an avalanche.
