[Dxspider-support] Does this make anything

[Dirk Koopman]

I am afraid this is a piece of rather old code. In the beginning there
was client.pl; this was replaced by the C client.

In general terms though: the way it works is that, in the middle, there
is the cluster.pl program. It then has interfaces of one kind or another
to "delivery systems". Some of this has got a bit mixed up over time,
but the basic principle is enforced in the code. 

There is a generic interface from the cluster.pl to "interface systems"
that prefixes each "line" with a line type and callsign followed by a
'|' character. Also there are two basic types of data passed: cluster
and user data.  

Hope this helps.
