Jerome,

I based my Rabbit embedded designs on Patrick's C library (Daniels
wasn't around then) - and it works well .   I had to tweak some of the
character array lengths to be larger as some verbose applications eg
xAPNews/Weather were being truncated.  My designs first exposure to the
outside xAP world at a UKHA event was very painful without sufficient
array bounds checking in place (I was new to C and somewhat negligent in
this regard).   The only thing I would say is that it's a little memory
hungry as it stores all incoming xAP messages into presized message
structures before usage.

I am not sure that Patrick updated anything for xAP v1.3 and ISTR
some aspects of wildcard matching and message dropping (filtering) that
I changed here too but my Rabbit project is now so tweaked and modified
that the library has sort of merged into the code . That's bad I know
but Dynamic C and it's linker style skews you towards this and I wasn't
sufficiently code style aware then.  Or maybe you are using Softools
?    I am half way in migrating my C-Bus project  from Dynamic C 9.62 to
Softools at the moment.

I also should take a look a Daniel's code too as I am still
'evolving' my embedded C and I learn so much from such examples
