I've always wondered about that myself. I've rationalized it to mean that one copy of Peer is the client and the other is the server. Both come and go as one starts or stops Peer. 


WKSTA.EXE and WKSTAHLP.EXE are the Requester. PEER.EXE is the Peer
server.
I am speaking about the roles that Peer assumes in its functioning. One role is to answer requests (arriving from other machines) and the other is to deliver requests (from the user to other machines). The Requester is necessary for both to function (stating the obvious). This would be not that much different than starting Mozilla with /profilemanager or /composer to start different functions.
