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.
