Hi I do not cease to object (in part:) to the REBOL creator. Carl wrote: "Note that using MAKE like this is really not necessary. "REBOL strings automatically grow in size. That "is, you can create a string of size 1, then add 99 chars to it "w/o a problem. The MAKE is only used for efficiency, when you "know the length of the string you want. According my experience with Rebol and sockets, it's a need a allocate a buffer for read-io. Of course that does not make the above saying wrong, but shows, that sometimes you have to provide enough memory. Regards AR -- Sent through Global Message Exchange - http://www.gmx.net
