Thanks Elliott.
There is no logical explanation yet how the connect file can
find the server and return a valid handle and still not
be able to write to it's window.
I'll have to look into this as soon as i can get on an XP 
machine.
If you have time to try a few simple experiments i can send
some to try that will help determine what is happening.

Take care for now and thanks much,
Al

PS
i've been also using your GD library and have created a
new file viewer with it that is quite fast
