Hi Adam,
Thanks!
I haven't been able to find any Bonjour/Distributed Objects examples
out there to work from so I would love to check out your code.
I don't think I am looking for interoperability and I want to take
advantage of the DO system so I am pretty set on trying to make it work.
Regards,
Kam Dahlin

As Uli indicated, some of the motivation for using NSFileHandle is
interoperability with other platforms. If that isn't a concern, I
think DO has some definite advantages, and the remote messaging is
pretty cool. We implemented file sharing in BibDesk using DO, with
Bonjour to advertise the service. There are some aspects of our
design that could definitely be improved, but the code is all
available under a BSD license; I can tell you what classes to look at
if you're interested.

Adam
