The Developer's Kit also has a library I designed that allows you to access FTP client functions from inside a C program: open a connection, transfer a file, set a transfer mode or type, etc. The same thing goes for telnet, you can build a C program that calls telnet functions internally. I don't know enough about other commercial or PD TCP's to comment on them. These both work with Microsoft C 5.1. If you're really running 5.0, I recommend you switch to 5.1 if possible. 5.0 had to be one of the buggiest pieces of big commercial software that I've seen in a long time... - john romkey USENET/UUCP: romkey@asylum.sf.ca.us Internet: romkey@ftp.com "Live the life you love, Use a god you trust, and don't take it all too seriously." - Love & Rockets
