Eh? I think you missed quite a bit of what Steve's was trying to say. Argo is
a tool that exposes information about a dom0, and allows actions on a dom0.
It is designed to be scriptable.

Xen-shell is a *user* tool. Argo is an *admin* tool. I use Argo to manage
*many* dom0s. Xen-shell is what one would give to a user that has one or a
couple of domUs. It's a 'shell' environment. It doesn't require another tool
to interface with it.

Basically, argo acts more like a library - very useful but you need something
to interface with it. Xen-shell is an application.

Quite different...

Thanks,
Ward.
