So am I Anton.  Burke did really well by writing that script for me and 
then debugging it remotely.  I am most impressed.  The sockets script runs 
about 4 times faster than the original.  Not to mention how much cleaner 
it is.

Burke, if you go to the convention, I owe you a meal.

FWIW: I'll be handing the script back to the person that gave me the 
original script.  Well, not directly, but to our ADSL mailing list.  I'll 
be documenting the script / cron job and putting it on the webpage.

And as someone mentioned, I plan to write a C program for it as well.  
It's been about 6 years since I coded in C but it's what I used to do for 
a living (before I started on PowerBuilder).

<Gasp>  <does he mean....?>

Yes, I admit it.

<blush>

I've been writing MS Windows programs for a living.  Have been for about 
12 years (if memory serves).  I know it was for Windows 2.11 originally.
