It's just that i would have been happy to update the program
to include any ideas/suggestions. I suppose i could post
a clear source version at some point also...
BTW, the server starting technique was done to allow the
program to run normally it the server wasnt needed anymore,
but it would be just as easy to link to the shell execute
function and have it start up automatically, if that's really
what the user wanted to do. Myself, i didnt want that.
I wanted the server to start possibly from the start menu
and then it would be available at any time to any program,
including some C programs i run.
It also allows multiple clients etc.
I'll be testing on XP very soon so i should have the
XP problem resolved very soon.
Take care,
Al
