The Server System

Whilst the server code is designed to be as portable as possible, there are some basic assumptions made about the system on which the program will run. It must be Unix-like, meaning roughly Posix compliant2.3. Additionally, the system must be running a web-server, a requirement of the client software. It must also be part of an IPv4 network, although only minor revisions would be required to use IPv6.
