Anyway. Are you planning WSA_ Socket calls for the future?
WSAAsyncGetHostByName() for example?
Just wondered as I did not see it in RSocket.

Hi, John, I remember your posts from the RQ group. Yes, both doctor electron and Kee Nej are aliases I have used, and use. Rsocket already has .AddrbyName function (gethostbyname). What benefit would there be to having a WSAaysnc version? Maybe the fact that .AddrbyName is blocking? This is a DNS lookup and the time it takes does depend on the DNS server used and other factors. Take care, doc

Hi Kee Nej,
okay! BTW. Talking of speed. I noticed you were still using copymemory @struc(0) type routines. Just wondering why you are not using a Memory Block as in my wsa_ code, etc. As I find this easier/better than @struc() as it guarantees one continous block of memory, which is also able to have GMEM_ flags attached to it (i.e moveable or static memory).
