Hi Dilwyn, RFC = Request For Comment = a 'standard' for something or other. Say FTP is RFC 12345 (it's not !) then you can go onto the web somewhere and find said RFC document and read it. Byt the end of said document, you will know exactly what FTP is supposed to do. You might not understand it however .....
*.rc = Possibly a rescource script for a program. If I'm not mistaken, came from Windows and you created a text file describing a dialogue or menu which was input to a resource compiler and the output was then bound to the compiled executable. I think the .rc was the source code for the resource.
