data stream processing

[Phil Davis]

Hi Viktoras,

Can the data stream come to the Rev app through a network port? If so, the easy 
solution would be to do something like this:

on openStack
   accept datagram connections on port xx \
       with message "handleData"
end openStack


on handleData pIPAddress, pData
   -- handle the data
end handleData


Then each time data arrives it will be handled, no matter how often or how 
infrequent.


Just a thought...
