I could do that if you think it would be useful for development of the 
various modules (network server, service manager, resource manager).

No problem, it's still exciting!

OK, I think I need some elaboration here.  Do you mean a C# class that 
provides a front-end interface to GW, so that our various VRS modules 
and managers can talk via GW?
