	Interesting take on Koi. And quite the compliment! I used to be a proud 
wearer of an "I Love Linda" button years ago when I worked for a small 
(never to get large) supercomputer startup named Cogent Research. Our 
whole architecture was Linda based and quite a joy it was to work with her.

	Definately! You're correct, they are a good match. A tuplespace server 
should be a fairly straight-forward project. Please keep us posted.

	A thought: Have you given any thought to distributing the tuples 
amongst cooperating servers? That would be one way to cut down on the 
bottle of having a single tuple server. Each "out" operation would place 
the tuple into the space of several servers. Each "in" operation would 
take it from a single server with that server notifying the others that 
the tuple should be removed. A "rd" would, of course, leave the tuple on 
all servers.
