> Looks like this package has strong Claw (Windows) dependencies.
   As written, yes.  But I sent to www.adapower.com last spring a Claw
independent version of Claw.Sockets (NC.Sockets).  It would be trivial
to change references in the ftp package from Claw to NC.

   I haven't tried it with Linux.  NC.Sockets does not use any of
the Winsock extensions or window messages.  The only obvious Windows
dependency is WSAStartup and WSACleanup, which I presume have some
straightforward counterpart in Linux.
