The ObjectCycle server is a multi-threaded Win32 program geared for either Windows NT or Windows ‘95. It can be stopped and started as a service in Windows NT or as an icon on the Windows ’95 or Windows NT desktop.

Once the server is initialized, it may immediately begin handling requests from multiple clients (either locally or on the network).  Each client request spawns a separate thread within the server to service that request.  Servicing that request may involve the retrieval of some cached value or state managed within ObjectCycle, or it may involve obtaining a connection to retrieve data from the data source.
