Or other bindings. A while back I was trying to use the Rational VADSworks socket bindings to VxWorks and got caught by the old 'SIZE vs 'LENGTH difference. Their subcontractor had translated sizeof into'SIZE giving a value which was off by a factor of 8. The bindings had obviously never been tested or used for TCP/IP before I tried to use them. Makes me wonder where all the $s we spend are going. Regards, Bob -- Robert L.
