This has been suggested, but it is overkill for my needs, as the UDP
sockets are going to exchange only very simple String (or maybe
Wide_String) data.

Yes, I agree. I've already gotten rid of the Stream stuff and I'm using
Send_Socket and Receive_Socket directly. I'll use the streams for the
TCP/IP connections, though.
