 PQ> Radius has some slightly better nodelist parsing ability.

   Yeah, but also seems to have added a lot of bugs. Radius is doing a really 
bad work on compiling/analysing the flags in the nodelist. Argus compiles all 
the flags -- Radius added this stupid user flag limitation or what I should 
call it, that Mark already has stated what he thinks about.  :)

 PQ> biggest advantage is the treatment of semaphores: having both a
 PQ> dedicated directory, and the ability to add custom-designed semaphores.

   Indeed. But on the other hand, us batch file phantoms can probably do with 
just one semaphore file exit, can't we? With an 'EXEC_NOW.OK' flag file that 
causes Argus to execute 'EXEC_NOW.BAT' (as I've made it now) wouldn't that 
actually be enough?

 PQ> Argus by another name, by your hand, could a Good Thing. 8-)

   Thanks. I'll at least make sure it'll be 100% backwards compatible -- Mark 
convinced me of that.

 PQ> P.S. When the time of general introduction of IPv6 comes, I will be
 PQ> switching to Linux.

   Negatory! You'll hang on to the good old Argus family, by then IPv6 aware, 
you hear!
