By the way, using the second technique is very much frowned upon, see, Item 26 at <http://tangentsoft.net/wskfaq/articles/lame-list.html>, Polling with ioctlsocket(FIONREAD) on a stream socket until a complete "message" arrives. Exceeds the bounds of earthly lameness. And, KB192599--"INFO: Avoid Data Peeking in Winsock" at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=192599 -- Alan J.
