EU in background and Re: low level Internet

Wow, this seems quite complicated.  No wonder there's a whole group of
people working on Winsock.  I think I've barely scratched the surface, but
I'm clutching at the wsock.ew's wsockCallSocket(host,port) as a promising
start.  Imagine the potential if I decide to write my very own and custom
POP3 client.  For example, instead of having the entire Outlook Express
running in the background (bloatware), I can have the EU interpreter and the
library and my program running in the background checking if I have mail
every so often.  Very cool.
