Version 0 of distributed linked bwise

I've made various pages on bwise:

• bwise
• Bwise - a graphical programming setup
• bwise applications and examples
• Bwise version 0.34, all in one file, 8.4 compatible (currently the latest version, all in just one file)
• Interactive Polygon in Bwise a graphics example
• C compiled image processing on an interactive Bwise calling the C compiler from a block, creating an image with the resulting program, and displaying it on the bwise canvas
• process and stream based bwise blocks in builtup
• A grep-like utility part of bwise
• A little multiplication toy example use
• A simple version of Eliza
• Boolean Logic

This one precedes more general work on the idea of using bwise in a distributed way, which can basically go three ways:

• cooperating multiple (distributed) bwise-es, for instance working on the same design in a distributed fashion
• linked into one distrbuted bwises for one application, where each bwise, probably on a different machine, or with windows on different X servers (or window terminals clients)
• controlling a application with one (or a few non-distributed) bwise window, consisting of various, possibly distributed, processes.

This page is about the second option, to begin with.

We make two bwises connect up, and take part in a chain of events, linked to blocks on both its' canvasses which extends from the one to the other.

I was able to use two machines in this setup, a linux machine running tcl/tk 8.4, and a windows XP running PC
