So my question is, why does fread wait if there is nothing more to read? Shouldn't it return immediately? (That's what I want.) And as for the delay, it's there so that if the incoming data is a little slow, it has time to catch up with fread. Thanks. ...ReneI do believe: No, because fread reads to EOF, which is not present. Just because there is no text being sent over the steam, does not mean EOF is present. I could be wrong, but that's the general idea if I recall correctly. - Craige
