It is true that you may not read it in the same blocks that it was sent as the data may be repacketised thru' the network by both TCP and IP.</FONT></DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2>Paul Lowman</FONT></DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2>Software/Hardware developer<BR>Lowman Consulting</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
