thanks! This is the kinda response i was looking for.

I am working on a GNU/Linux Interprocess Communication wrapper for Euphoria.
It started out as just a socket wrapper but im goin to expand it further. Lots

Right now i have a working socket wrapper but it needs more features. So that
is what im working on.

now. Hopefully it will work.
