There are also javadocs for NTCP. These do not contain
a lot of text at the moment, but at least they describe the signatures of
all the relevant classes. They are also subject to change at any moment.
The classes that will be of most interest to most people are
org.nees.ntcp.server.util.NtcpHelper (the client API) and
org.nees.ntcp.server.backend.LocalControlPlugin (the plugin interface).
These are up to date as of the MOST experiement on July 30, 2003.
