more work to do

If anyone is bored and want's something interesting to work on (hint to Joe
:-)  here are two things near the top of the to-do list that look
interesting.  One is the object model for Directories (the Dir object) and
the second is the Networking support and demo web server.

1) The Dir object is a simple object that represents a directory.  The file
object would lso be expanded to support unopened files.  The description of
this is at:

http://www.prothon.org/pipermail/prothon-user/2004-April/000955.html

No language, not even Java, has a decent object model for files and
directories.  Prothon might as well be the first.

2) The networking consists of two tasks.  The first part is to wrap the APR
networking features so we have basic networking support in Prothon for the
first time.

The second part is to write a simple http server that allows strangers to
come to a web site and run Prothon code on the server to see what Prothon is
like.  Another goal is to see if they can hack the server by defeatng the
security scheme.  The features for this are quite open ended in that it
could range from a simple console to a fancy ide, all based in http.

This http server should have our docs online also to give new Prothon users
a good first impression, so the second part of this project shouldn't go
public until the doc compiler is ready.
