DW Root Updates

Brent: this page is here just for you.
When I have an update, I'll rebuild this page and send you an email.
It's a fat page containing workspace.davesNewParts.
Write a script that merges this with workspace.newParts.
A copy of this outline is in workspace.davesNewParts.changes.
New/Changed Objects
system.verbs.builtins.tcp.myDottedID
Returns the IP address of the machine you're running on as a dotted id.
Example: {tcp.myDottedID ()} == 206.204.24.11
It's very fast!
system.verbs.builtins.tcp.equalNames
Takes two params, the names of two nodes on the net.
They can be symbolic, like betty.userland.com, or a dotted ID like 206.204.24.10.
equalNames is true if they resolve to the same dotted ID.
Some scripts want to behave differently if they're sending a message to the server on the same machine.
system.verbs.builtins.tcp.httpClient
Uses tcp.myDottedID and tcp.equalNames to be more efficient when talking to the server running on the same machine.
Wes was right, this improves perf on the local machine.
But it clearly decreased perf when talking to another machine.
