program... kludged, not fixed.

wrapper... so just use fcntl() locks.  Also, if it is flat out impossible
for anyone to ever get a lock on a particular file (ie: is a socket) do not
fail.

Note: This trick may come in hady for a future locking solution.

this:

Whever a user connects to a node, the unix domain socket localspy.sock is
create in the node directory.  This is a RAW connection to the users data
stream.  This is NOT a telnet connection.  Do NOT telnet to the UDS... you
will not like the results.  However, you can easily and safely do something
like:

cat /sbbs/node1/localspy.sock

Possibly netcat will allow you to remote control a users session... not
sure if nc supports unix domain sockets or not.   Have fun with this one.

old 486 hardware!

Created base64 property to enable auto-base64 encode/decode on read/write.
read() now defaults to reading the entire file from the current file position
Created network_byte_order property for reading-from/writing-to big-endian
binary files on little endian machines (e.g. PCs).
Eliminated old base64 property (use read instead).
Updated method and property descriptions.
