  ****************************************************************
  -Client checks for server presence after it sends request
  for services- this way the first message after the server
  is stopped or abends can not find the required server.
  -In some cases the first message reaches the server before
  the message for the client joining the group- in this cases
  the client is not registerred and the message is rejected.
  -On change server request - the client is improved to
  leave and join the group.
  

Problem conclusion

• The client's program have been changed to perform next:
  
  1.Check for "server leave the group" message before sending
  new request to server.
  2.Wait between Join the group and Send first request- to make
  sure that the registration with the server is done.
  4. On server change client leaves and joins the group-
  to make sure that deregistration/registration is proccessed
  correct by servers.
