17 <P>In earlier versions of Spider, all the processes were Perl scripts. This was fine but with a lot of users your computer memory would soon be used up. 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.
