TCP protocol
I think I've searched the entire site for the TCP protocol specs, but all I can find is for the UDP protocol. I'm sorry to bother with such a trivial question, but could someone (pretty please) point out where the TCP protocol is specified?

the TCP protocol is not public.

My take on it: anyone capable of writing a client so extensive it would require TCP access is certainly capable of writing the beginning of it using the UDP interface only. There's no need to give TCP specs to anyone who wanders in off the streets, it's not hard to prove you're both skilled and dedicated enough by producing something useful with the tools already available.

No, it's because 'Open Source' is not a magical elixir of life, you still need people willing to work on the project. And AOM is delphi. If bored, but skilled and reliable, delphi programmers showed up looking to help, I'm sure Petri could delgate some stuff. Till then the millions of programmers who are just dying to write TCP clients for anidb could damn well have a crack at extending Chii or writing a lil UDP client.
