Speaking seriously, ADP is still in use even if it is a lame protocol, so no it's not going to get dropped. The RDI code is however a completely steamy pile, and if I had to do it all over again, I would rather have spent three weeks of 16-hour days implementing the protocol from scratch, rather than taking the same amount of time stretched out over months trying to get it to work right on every host. The ADP protocol is more complicated than the standard remote protocol, and if you stick to what actually works rather than what ARM fantasized about but never implemented, it's not really that hairy. Another case where I chickened out rather than doing the Right Thing. Stan
