Re: DDM over IP Problems

Pat:

Yeah, terminology is changing. It's moving more to "client" and "server". Ah, 
well.

But there may be messages or other text that refer to "source" and "target", so 
I thought Chuck should be clear. Best currently available definitions relating 
to DDM I'm aware of would be:

 http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/qb3alh00/1.4

I tried searching InfoCenter for the terms, but... hey, it's InfoCenter, ya' 
know?
