Turns out to be something the Mail Archive (where I look for single answers if
I don't want to wait fior the digest email) page adds after a double-quoted
URL. No idea why, but there were two there once I quoted your first example. :)

I'm using Windows 98. It can be made to do plenty, but obviously NOT this. If
even working code fails, then please forget I asked, I won't do it again. I'll
stay with net tools that work and call them by wxExecute, either synchronously,
or asynchronously, and as I have a RAM drive set up I can access files directly
in RAM with very little speed loss. With that method I get things done, With
anything else, all bets are null and void. Apparently the wxSocketry, and all
examples, are works in progress, officially, and it's a dead cert they won't be
written with W98 in mind even if they reach completion. I won't change the OS,
it does too many good things to throw it out for the few it can't do especially
as most of those are hardware limited anyway.
