Some ideas for improvements:

* you can use ExternalSocket in external.c for creating the socket. It
  understands address/port combinations, e.g., "localhost:10000" or
  "127.0.0.1:10000". That is a bit more general than having a world-wide
  port number defined by "set pu remote port 10000". Also , it allows
  the user to input DNS names instead of IP addresses.

  The inAddress in pu_info has to be replaced with a, say, char(100). I
  can do the necessary changes if you like!

* analysis might be a future target for parallelisation: the analysis of
  each individual moverecord can be done independently (the notable
  exception being MOVE_DOUBLE/MOVE_TAKE/MOVE_DROP), thus, relatively
  easy to parallelise.
