ZPE CAST or ZPE Client And Server Technology is the way in which Remote ZPE (rZPE) works. It is currently based on a point to point communication protocol through a single port. A server initiates and a client sends a request for a connection. It is currently based on a multithreaded server that opens a ZPE command line to the client. This allows remote testing and more importantly remote access to a system. It currently does not encrypt the connection, but I am working on bringing this in the near future.
The ZPE commands that do this will soon be removed, in favour of the -n ZAC that was added in version 1.5.1. I will be redesigning the message consoles too so that when a server is connected to a client, the client opens a server and sends a request to the server it has connected to open a client and connect back, reducing the number of jobs needed by the users of each client and server.
All of this is planned for the next version of ZPE, version 1.5.2.
Also, the CLI version number put at the top of the zpe command in every version to date has been incorrect and only outputted the version number of the ZPE application. It has now been updated so that it displays the correct information, showing what version ZLC (Zenith Language Compiler) is in. As of 1.5.2 this is version 1.6. Also, the ZenEXecutable specification has changed, thus all compiled programs need to be recompiled.
