It's best to keep all the server files exactly what they are... "Server" files. it makes no sense to make a server file run on the client.... and has huge problems with doing so... mainly compatability issues.

Well actually, no, this is not what I ment. I was merely contemplating the possible configurations of the .exe's I mean, if the .exe's weren't able/designed to be placed on different machines... why do you have to enter localhost(127.0.0.1) all over the .ini's?

Well since emotion is so hard to read in text, I will give the benefit of the doubt and go with the idea that you weren't being an egotistical d**khead and getting in a cheap jab.
