Robert, It look like this winsock ocx is really bugged, or at least implement the microsoft way to conceive a tcp/ip connection :-) As you can see on my source code repository I have example of client using Pascal, Java, Perl and now the w3Sockets dll and all are working without any bad trick.
The command line interface was in wait for some time but I also need it to interface with the Virtual Moon Atlas, so I wanted it before the version 3.2. I agree it is much more easy to use and offer enough capability for most of the applications. Patrick
