Is LC encryption different for Mac than for Windows??

[Phil Davis]

I don't know about newer LC versions, but some older ones don't do "read 
from socket <socket> until EOF" correctly. Because of that, I added a 
data header containing the length of the data in bytes. On the receiving 
end, something like this happens:

    read from socket <socket> for 1 line
    put it into tLength
    read from socket <socket> for tLength
    put it into tData
    close socket <socket>

I add error-checking of course.

HTH -
Phil
