Alright, so basically in order to perform this test, I could just replace the Winsock compatibility layer based Send call with the direct BSD sockets Send call (temporarily) in the include file for OS/2 and use together with the httpsend example to check whether the socket handles are interchangable between the Winsock compatibility layer and the BSD sockets layer. I'll let you know the results. Tomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
