Good! Yes - that is a problem (or a bug) in DLLs. I am currently working on separating the transport layer from the protocol modules so that you can register the best way of communicating for example with your local file system instead of using the hard coded Unix file descriptors or ANSI file descriptors. This also means that you for example easily can start experimenting with other transports like for example UDP. -- Henrik Frystyk Nielsen, <frystyk@w3.org> World-Wide Web Consortium, MIT/LCS NE43-356 545 Technology Square, Cambridge MA 02139, USA
