Will CLOS be able to handle network-wide & presistent objects ? Two basic (obvious) reasons for network-wide objects are :- * offload large CLOS applicatons -- both for production & development. * enable a group of (say 3~5) people attacking a large module where each person may have 2~3 workstation(s) in his/her office. As for presistent objects, one obvious reason is to put objects onto disks/floppies and transplant them onto a different CLOS environment and will still be functional. Both issues are no small feat I guess especially the network-wide thing -- one has to take into account of fault-tolerance (e.g. a dead node) and things like that. -- Eric Ho Cognitive Science Lab., Princeton University voice = 609-987-2819 (x2987) email = eho@confidence.princeton.edu eho@bogey.princeton.edu regards. -eric-
