Extensibility

The Multiuser Server uses Xtras, separate files that contain software code for specific server functions. You can choose not to load certain parts of the server's functionality by removing Xtras from the server's Xtras folder. For example, you can remove the Database Xtra if you are not using databases. You can also write your own Xtras to add custom functions to the server if you are a competent C or C++ programmer. A separate Xtra Developer's Kit is available from Macromedia's Web site (http://www.macromedia.com/support) for those who wish to learn more about writing Xtras for the server.
