    PQ> Radius has some slightly better nodelist parsing ability.   
      
      Yeah, but also seems to have added a lot of bugs. Radius is doing a really   
   bad work on compiling/analysing the flags in the nodelist. Argus compiles all   
   the flags -- Radius added this stupid user flag limitation or what I should   
   call it, that Mark already has stated what he thinks about.  :)   
      
    PQ> biggest advantage is the treatment of semaphores: having both a   
    PQ> dedicated directory, and the ability to add custom-designed semaphores.   
      
      Indeed. But on the other hand, us batch file phantoms can probably do with   
   just one semaphore file exit, can't we? With an 'EXEC_NOW.OK' flag file that   
   causes Argus to execute 'EXEC_NOW.BAT' (as I've made it now) wouldn't that   
   actually be enough?   
      
    PQ> Argus by another name, by your hand, could a Good Thing. 8-)   
      
      Thanks. I'll at least make sure it'll be 100% backwards compatible -- Mark   
   convinced me of that.   
      
    PQ> P.S. When the time of general introduction of IPv6 comes, I will be   
    PQ> switching to Linux.   
      
      Negatory! You'll hang on to the good old Argus family, by then IPv6 aware,   
   you hear!
