Fixed in CVS.

Impractical.  The fact that you are running it as an INL server is
encoded in the file of settings that is read in and processed.

Oh?  I never knew that old INL server let you do this.  Noted.

Sounds like the robot didn't "see" the planets all at zero, presumably
because the daemon immediately reset them.  I think the daemon should
avoid resetting them in INL mode.  Noted.

I thought another team member could usurp the captaincy?  Did you try
this?  What you ask is already on the list of things to do.  See the
file PROJECTS in the source tree.

Hrm.  Noted.
