well... thats the problem... htons et al are empty functions on big-endian systems and thge situation actually requires they perform the swap because in this case endian-ness matters and sending it in "Network order" is NOT apropriate unless "Network Order" is the same as host order on the client. see teh problem? if the other side doesn't ntoh the data then it doesn't work ;) -Steve -- /* -- Stephen Carpenter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>------------ */ E-mail "Bumper Stickers": "A FREE America or a Drug-Free America: You can't have both!"
