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.

No longer chops off the last char of the temp dir before calling md().
