Subject: Proper use of shutdown()  (Was WS_FTP and PC/TCP)
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
X-Mailer: <WS_GMAIL v1.0>

Can anyone give me any pointers on the proper use of shutdown(skt,2)?

WS_FTP had a problem with PC/TCP Winsock v1.10 in the use of this
call.  I'm not sure why I was using shutdown, other than all the books
that I use, were doing the same thing.   In any case, I have removed the
call in WS_FTP version 94.02.08 and it now seems to work correctly.

When do you use shutdown?
What should it accomplish?
Does closesocket do the same thing?

I was using shutdown as I understood that it would ensure that any
pending data would be handled correctly before the socket closed.
Was I wrong?

Thanks,
John

it sounds like you may be creating the child process without specifying the
fInheritHandles parameter on CreateProcess() as TRUE.

Subject: WinQVT/Net

I have been using WinQVT/Net v3.9.  It is a nice package which
needs some improvements and enhancements.  Before I pay the
registration fee, I would like to make sure that this software
will continue to develop.  How commited are QPC Software to
the development of WinQVT?  Is there a mailing list for users?

On a related note, when I use the built in news reader, and when
I use the thread reader, how do I neatly return to the main selection
mode?  I wind up having to delete all of the articles found by the
thread search and then I am returned to the top of the main list
of articles regardless of where I started the thread search.

We've had some of the same problems here...

Our solution was basic.  Make sure that DNS resolves in both directions
(host and client).  After working that out, we don't seem to have any
problems.

By the way, which version are you running?  Vast differences between 0.62 and
0.80.
