I did not realise that you could use recv and send and not read and write
with TCP, I think I  read somewhere that for the TCP section I should use
read and write, I really don't know if there is a difference but I will have
a look at it. 
As well I have not had much of a chance to look at winsocks so I am not
really sure what is the best way to deal with windows but I will be looking
at that. 

Thanks Ben
ps Can you send me a link to where I can find ace. I don't think I ran
across that yet.
