Okay, here's what I'm working the situation is.  I'm working on a
daemon that watches the serial port, ie: /dev/ttyb.  I'm trying to use
the SerialSolutions package which has a method for adding the tty to
the list of things that DPS will look to for events.  However, I have
to have an actual NeXTSTEP program, via [NXApp run] in order to
accomplish this.

I was hoping that I could create an application object, not do the
-run method, but set up my own loop to get events (just timer events,
and events from the tty doing something).  I looked into it, but don't
have enough expertise to know if it's possible.  I'm hoping someone
out there does.
