Hi Hugh,
I'm afraid I have no idea how all that stuff works, so I'm not of much
use. I learned about tuplespaces in a presentation recently and
thought it was very interesting, but I've yet to see how it's all done
with DRb, let alone the changes between the versions.
Perhaps you'd better take this up with the author.
Cheers,
Gavin
