Hi John--I have a lot of questions, but will have to follow up on them later as
my time has run out. One quickie, though--please reconsider the use of Java.
If your only reason is because of multi-thread support, that is easily
accomplished via C++. See the Common C++ library I mentioned as a good
example. To run a new thread, you just inherit the thread class and then start
the Run() method. That's it. From previous threads, C++ seemed to be the
prevailing choice.
Lots of good thought-work, though! Have a great weekend!
Dave.
