I think GNet is pretty cool though abit limited. Does anyone know anything about any future developments of this module? If one could request any additions it would be the ability to read local gnet events instead of just remote.

I'm having a bit of a hack at it. Not finished yet though Notable changes are that I have split up tGNetPeer There are now TGNetParticipants from which tGNetPeer is descended. Then there can be tGNetLocal as another tGNetParticipant. The plan is messages are broadcast to all participants rather than just peers. In addition, I'm planning to incorperate the ability to postdate messages so that events always turn up at in the same cycle on each machine. This gives them time to travel the net. Postdating something by a second means you won't see it locally for a second but when it does turn up it should be simultaneously turning up on all machines at the same time. In the instance where it never turns up or takes longer than a second a ping length stutter would occur.
