1. tcp4u_connect()
here is the dilemna:
I need to be able to make multiple connections simultaneously.
tcp4u allows for multiple sockets, but there is no timeout setting for
tcp4u_connect(), and it appears to be 1 minute. Also, the routine
doesn't return until it makes contact or times out, so potentially, my
program will, and it does, stall for one minute while waiting to
timeout.
When I need to make anywhere from 20 to 40 connections, or more, at
the same time, waiting for 1 minute for each socket before being able to
do _anything_ else, isn't an option.
Even the duration of the timeout isn't so much of a problem, it's the
fact that the function doesn't return until the connection is finished.
What can I do? I know that the timeout is not controlled in euTcp4u.

I know what you feel...
Just like you, I also desperatelly needed multithread.
By developing Ray's test_IRC.exw for a more
advanced IRC client I would despreatelly need
multithread for the GUI.
