###### ORIGINAL SUBMISSION DETAILS ######

System Group Name:

Full Name:

Description:
------------
  Chryn is a C++ library for asynchronous programming.  Similar to the python
library Twisted (http://twistedmatrix.com), but in C++; or similar to the C++
library ACE (http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html), but much much
smaller and simpler.

Basically, the goal is to provide a generic "reactor" interface that makes it
easy to write single-threaded programs that multiplex network operations,
time-based scheduling, POSIX signals, communicating with subprocesses, and so
on.  Kind of a fancy generic C++ main loop.

In the prototype, a simple "echo" server, supporting both IPv4 and IPv6 and
arbitrarily many simultaneous clients, is ~15 lines of code.  

The available code is currently only on my laptop, which doesn't have network
connectivity here, so I can't put it up for y'all to look at.  I'm not sure
exactly what looking at it would do, though; the code is entirely my own,
licensed under a free license (probably lesser GPL, though it's not fully
set), and uses only standard, well-known techniques (so patents should not be
an issue).  I'd like to hope that after many years of free software
development, and some months of running a project hosted by savannah
(monotone), I have some idea of what is legally okay :-), but if it's really
a problem, we can work something out.


Other Software Required:
------------------------
  None.  Requires no features outside of ISO C++ and POSIX.
