<BODY bgColor=#ffffff>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you all for your interest in my problems with
sockets,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I certainly learned something from your
replies.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Summarizing the problems I had it was impossible
to</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>open a socket to a mail server and then get any
more</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>than the initial welcome response from that server
until</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I restarted revolution.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This actually turned out to be one real problem and
a</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>stupid mistake working together to thwart my
efforts at</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>mail server communication.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In sending commands to the mail server I used
linefeed</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>as described in the Revolution
documentation</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> write "command" & linefeed to
socket "socket"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This certainly does not work on Windows but
replacing</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>linefeed with CRLF works just fine as someone
pointed out.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> write "command" & CRLF to socket
"socket"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Correcting the above I have been able to talk to
the mail</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>server without problems until I close the socket
and </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>attempt to open it again. That does not work and is
a</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Revolution specific problem. Once a socket has
been</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>opened and used and it is then closed, it is
spent.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Whatever clean up, clearing buffers or other
things that need</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to be done in relation to a close socket
command, this</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>does not work. I even tried libResetAll. The only
workaround</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I know for the moment is to restart Revolution or
the </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>standalone.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I will continue to work and learn more about
sockets in</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Revolution. For the moment I can check if there is
mail</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>on a pop3 server using a few lines of Revolution,
which</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>is a great promise that there are more exciting
things </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>that can be done with sockets.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
