I would have liked to make it portable, but I don't have never done any
Windows programming, and I don't have any TCP/IP libraries or socket
routines, or a compiler for Windows.

hmmm... if I'd have used YACL (Yet Another Class Library) it would be
much more portable, Win, OS/2 and Unix, I think.

I'll see what I can do, but I still don't have any TCP/IP libs for DOS,
Win, etc...

Anybody interested in helping port this? It shouldn't be too difficult,
I'll just have to download YACL (again). :-) All that should be needed
is the socket routines, libs and someone to complile it for Windows.

I'll see what I can do.

Stay tuned... :-)
