Sorry, I can't really help with your sockets question. Eric Miller is
our expert on that, he should reply soon. However, I would just like to
clarify things with the socket code with regards to the versions of
Grass. The sokect code is now the default method for process
communication for version 5.0. So, if you download the current CVS and
compile, you will be using the new socket code. If no major problems
occur when we release version 5.0, we plan to remove the fifo code from
the tree. Since your changes will be used for version 5.1, I suggest you
concentrate on the socket code, unless somebody requests fifo code.

Hope this helps save you some work. :-)
