[Zarutian] 2005-07-25-15:02 Okay I am going to make a simpe peer to peer system in Tcl

First of the spec:

'Functional specfication of simpleP2P'

Overview:
   * simpleP2P is a little program that demonstrates how to make a simple peer to peer system in Tcl
   * 'This spec is not, by any stretch of the imagination, complete.'  All of the wording will need to be revised several times before it is finalized.

Scenarios:
 
  Scenario 1: Raoul
   Raoul is a programmer relativitly new to Tcl and wants to try something
   kewl with Tcl. Raoul doesnt want to install a big runtime on his machine,
   so he gets the tclkit for his platform of choice. He then downloads 
   simpleP2P.kit to the same folder (or if you prefere: directory) as his 
   tclkit executable is in. He drags the simpleP2P.kit over his tclkit 
   executable and therefor starts the simpleP2P application. Up pops the 
   console and a window showing him the built-in command manual for the
   application. He enters the command "listen 8050". Raoul IMs his buddy
   asking him to get tclkit and simpleP2P.kit and enter the command
   "connect raoul.cjb.net 8050"

Non-Goals:
  * we are not going to use XML to fromat messages between peers
  * simpleP2P wont support connecting through a proxy.
  * simpleP2P wont have a file search capability

... arrh I dont know how to write functional specs!
But I sure wont give up. It will be done eventualy
