Um. If its a unix thats not Linux or FreeBSD, I see what you mean.
Elsewise,
would you care to explain why you can't write a proxy server in Eu?
I've actually been trying this trick for a while now, I'm a bit obsessed
with servers coded in Eu. (One time, I tried to write a proxy server in
Eu,
but the platform for the server was in Windows, not Linux, so I was
totally
lost and gave up without ever really starting.)
