%[ER: 214]%

AMC client/server is now (almost) complete. The implementation is based on the
ER231 enhancements made in package LCS/Transport.

* Removed DH_Converter class; added DH_Request and DH_Result classes. It
  turned out that we do need separate data holder classes for request and
  result.

* Removed convenience libraries libamcclient in AMCBase/AMCClient and
  libamcserver in AMCImpl/AMCServer. They caused too much trouble during
  linking.

* Modified both ConverterClient and ConverterServer.

* Added class Process that wraps the OS fork() method. Class ConverterProcess
  is derived from this base class.

* Added several test programs; the most important being tConverterClient and
  tConverterServer. The tConverterServer.run script will try to start both
  server and client; the client then requests some conversions from the
  server; the output returned by the server is then verified.
