Thanks (to you and the other people who replied), it seems its not used.
I'm not even sure the satellite code works!

Looking at the queue of work for JFFNMS it's going to be a while before
the rewrite happens, I did rewrite the consolidator in C but it won't be
out for months.

The front-end is getting re-written, if you look at the git repository 
you can see the changes, but it is still PHP code so it works wherever
the previous versions work.  I've found the clean-up is far more
important than moving to C as there are lots of things like getting the
number of global variables down.

Then probably I'll template the web-pages and better separate the
functional code (get all the interfaces for host 20) from the formatting
(draw a grey row of items).  Templating also means changing the look of
JFFNMS will be easier as whoever did that only needs to look at the
templates and not the actual code. Templaters are things like Smarty
which are PHP code and so should be available in windows.

I'll then have another clean-up at the code. At this point JFFNMS works
on everything it does today, but hopefully better.

After all that process I'll then see if the problems it has are due to
the code, or the language.  I must admit windows installation wasn't
something I thought much about and before it moves to C I will consider
that aspect.  My C code is pretty portable so it should compile ok, but
windows is not as posix-like as it could be.

I'd be curious to hear how well programs have ported to windows, if
you're a user of programs that are typically found on sourceforge
for example.
