And as a tool originally conceived on Unix, it should maintain its roots and continue to provide people familiar with Unix APIs a convenient way for scripting. Thus, improved Windows support should not come at the expense of Unix support without a perfect reason. I'm missing that reason here. I haven't looked deeply at what API changes have been introduced lately, but I'd suggest to use the standard BSD sockets return value semantics (-1 for failure, >= 0 for success). Those semantics also prevail in the Winsock implementation, so they should be quite natural. - Sascha Experience IRCG http://schumann.cx/ http://schumann.cx/ircg
