However, instead of compiling a state map file it would take the file and ship it across the Internet to a central server. This server would compile the state map file into Java or C++ and then ship the resulting files back to the client. Except for the network delay, the remote user would not see much difference between compiling locally and compiling remotely.
The reason I developed the remote compiler was to get some idea of how many people are using SMC, and how often they are using it. Another reason is to make sure that all ...
