Heh... Anybody at RS kicking themselves over the decision to roll
their own auto-discovery code instead of using Rendezvous? ;-)
No. We knew Rendezvous was open-source and potentially
cross-platform when we implemented Autodiscovery. But AutoDiscovery
has a number of other advantages. I see no advantages to Rendezvous
except the ability to discover Rendezvous-enabled devices -- but I've
never actually run into one of those myself. For just finding other
copies of your own apps (or other apps in a suite of RB-made apps) --
which is the intended purpose of the AutoDiscovery class -- the
current implementation is better (for example, it's much smaller).
Best,
