+In earlier versions of Spider, all the processes were Perl scripts.  This

+To combat this a new client was written in "C".  This client only works for
+<em>incoming</em> connects at the moment.  Before you can use it though it
+has to be "made".  CD to /spider/src and type <em>make</em>.  You
+should see the output on your screen and hopefully now have a small C program
+called <em>client</em>.  Leave it in this directory.
