Obviously you find the OS the right place for TCP/IP support. Which
makes me wonder how you'd want to link code from Jonathan Hudson.
He used to use free software licenses, so his code gets locked out of
SMSQ/E by legal obstacle.

Or is the ice melting and open source (http://www.opensource.org) has
become an option for SMSQ/E if major features are offered?

Native TCP/IP (and more) was done by me years ago. I had offered it for
free. Like Jonathan I won't use a proprietary license for it. But unlike
Jonathan I still work for the QL and I can be reached if ice is melting.

All the best
Peter
