Sockets won't block - thank you

[Graeme Defty]

Regan,

Can't thank you enough for the help. All is well now.

It is a bit disappointing that the 'wrapper' round the C call is so 'thin'. The
sad thing is, my original C++ code allocated a 1K buffer and did all the right
things. I changed it to be a dynamic array in the expectation that the buffer
would be expanded as necessary. Oh well. That'll teach me :-)

     mySock.blocking = true;

Yes, you are right. They are.

     writefln("Sent (", len , ") '", buf , "' and received '", rcvbuf , "'.");

Hmmm. Yes. <Sounds offstage of faces going red :-) >

Yes. I think that was one of my 'stabs in the dark'.

Anyway, Thanks again for your speedy and madly useful response.

Cheers,
