Hmm. I was hoping that I'd be able to store the stack
in terms of CIL methods and offsets, then rebuild it
at the other end. Couldn't it be made to work in a
similar way to a debugger?

If code locations and and ensuring compilation are a
problem, could I compile ahead of time and ship the
binary around between servers?

I was planing to compile each script as a single
object, so if I transfer the script object and it's
stack I will have everything the script needs at the
other end.

Cheers,

Jim.
