I would suggest, that you use the wininet.dll from Microsoft. This dll is an encapsulation of most of the winsockets functionality. I you muck around www.microsoft.com or the microsoft developer network, you can find wininet.dll and several code examples written i Visual Basic. The examples can be

To Ron You can probably use a shareware text-editor call ultraedit-32 (www.ultraedit.com) . It has a function to search and replace text in files (ex. *.wor) placed in a specific directory (and subdirectories, If you want that). I have used this editor to change filenames from "xxx.tif" to "xxx.
