Of course, the idea could be done as a 9p file server. However, I think the fact that sam already uses a protocol with database-like semantics would greatly reduce the work needed. I also don't think that such a scheme would allow for real-time update in samterm (though of course, I don't know if my original idea would, either!) > >> How hard would it be to stick a program between a single sam -R and >> several samterms?
