SUMMARY RDoItServer

	This package consists of Smalltalk-80 Release 4, and C code.
The Smalltalk-80 code creates a Smalltalk process which provides
a Socket based server.  The C code talks to that server.  The result
is the ability to execute "rdoit" at a Unix command line, and have
the Smalltalk image "Do It."  (Very similar to the Berkley rsh command.).

	I use this package to put the "Launcher" options on my root
OpenWindows menu.  The speed is quite acceptable on a SparcStation 2
with 32 megs of RAM, and no other users. ;-)  I have not tested this
code in any other environment.

	I am releasing this code in the hope that others will find it
useful, and that others will improve it.  It is a very poor example of 
good coding style, or a very good example of poor coding style. ;-) 
However, it seems to work, and I need to get back to work.
