Oh yes.

This is something that maybe needs to be made clear!

Xplhal is a gui-less service in windows - it runs all the time, even
when noone is logged in.

Xplhal does the scripting, runs determinators, configures devices when
they power up etc.

Xplhal manager is a console app which uses XHCP (not xPL) to configure
the low lying service. (xplhal manager can for instance run on any PC on
the network, it doesn't have to be on the xplhal server PC)

Similarly, xplhal can run without the manager, and you could (if you
wanted to) configure the service by editing the various configuration
files.

Xplhal manager is the first XHCP client, but could easily be implemented
on Linux, Mac OS, whatever, and talk to an xplhal server somewhere on
the network.

Ian.

What is the difference? And are they really separate?
