And durned if I haven't already...

I compiled luasocket, an extension which provides TCP/IP network socket
functions to lua.  It's still under 92k in size... (!) and comes with a
FTP client, HTTP client (wget-like sort of), TFTP client, echo
client/server, daytime client, SMTP client, and more!

And now luasockt.lrp and lua.lrp are available in
http://leaf.sourceforge.net/pub/oxygen/packages/

Now if I could just get luasocket on my Palm :-)
