acq400_chapi : acq400 series C language Host API

• network host api, similar to but lighter than HAPI, the python Host API

*** NB: this is still very skeletal ***

boost is no longer needed

#sudo dnf install boost-devel

we do need popt

ubuntu

sudo apt-get install libpopt-dev

Install recommendation:

works on all known Linux including WSL

native Windows port would need a socket abstraction layer

mkdir PROJECTS
cd PROJECTS; git clone https://D-TACQ/acq400_chapi
cd acq400_chapi
make
