Ok,
Thanks for the answers. But why is bbwin compatible BigBrother ? I
always thought this is just a "windows" compilation of the hobbit-client
?
As fas as I know, no. It's totally other software.
For compatibility, the hobbit client sends 1 data stream with all information in it. It's the server that will use this data stream and generate the data for the columns. It's a dump client, the server will process all data.
For BigBrother, the server expects 1 update per column. Also, it's the client who determines what's green-yellow-red. So, the BigBrother server is dump, it only displays what the client sends.
Hobbit can also receive data like the BigBrother server.
So, a hobbit client can only send info to a hobbit server. A BigBrother client can send data to a hobbit and a BigBrother server.
Is there another client you guys know, which is at no cost and
compatible with BigBrother ?
A Linux client? I think there is a perl version of the bb command.
