 355 Solaris and Irix. It is written in C (and a little bit C++), and

 361 <p>I'm one of two designers and maintainers of a Internet games metaserver
 362 project. We want to ease the task of discovering available game servers
 363 for any game on the Internet, and have designed a distributed network of
 364 gigs-servers where game servers can report their presence, and game clients
 365 can query the closest gigs-server to get a list of running game servers.</p>
