Well, using winsock period makes me uneasy ;-) Seriously - no - there's no issue. You are coming from a unix perspective where an exported function such as 'connect()' exists once in the global symbol table. Not so on win32 - it's more akin to the OSX two-level name- space schema. When you bind a symbol on windows, you bind the PE Binary to the specific function -within- a specific DLL. Because they all become system handles, there are really no other differences. Bigger issues include using nonblocking sockets on winsock functions that really expected a blocking socket, etc. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
