Subject: Requests for next server

I really think the next server release should have teh following additions:

addition of a read_text_file() command with similar restrictions to
open_network_connection()

a complete re-haul of o_n_c ... there are major problems with its current
incarnation ...

(such as having to login an outgoing o_n_c, the 5 minute timeout not
completely removing the connection, which slows down the server
dramatically, etc)

I'm unaware of any problem fitting this description; could you please
elaborate?

	Unsure if I can be definite about this, but I have noticed a drastic
slowdown which is reduced by doing something like:

	for x in [0..-200] boot_player(toobj(x)); endfor

	After doing that there is a dramatic speed increase...
