Currently it will be for OSX 10.3 and greater. G3 or G4 Clients and G4 or G5
as server.
(Current application runs under 10.3 or greater.)

>the development environment?

Codewarrior (but can switch to xCode if it stops corrupting files :-) )
Witten in C not c++/powerplant.

>the expected workload? (total bandwidth, number of transactions per
second, number of clients)

low - max 10 clients , down to 1 client
transactions will be number per minute not per second
(Think booking items and the interaction between user and customer. "What do
you want and for what day?")

>the protocol? (what do you need to transmit between the client and
the server?)

Was assuming TCP/IP - needs to be robust and the connection has to be
guaranteed, e.g. all packets need to make it. Text will be the main info
transmitted but the occassional small picture may also be involved (<40k).
I am open to suggestions however.
