The only reason I got involved was that I felt that people were getting the wrong end of the stick about GPL licensing and the impact on their own code, which is as we all know an emotive issue round here. A question -- is DTraq endian-independent? that is, could the client be a PowerPC (in our case, running VxWorks) and the logging server be an Intel machine? We achieve this using the stream attributes, with a special little-endian System.Stream_Attributes body that converts to/from the native PPC form. This has the advantage that the target runtime is the vendor's, unmodified.
