  I coded it using the Claw.Sockets library and, after pretty-printing
to normalize white space, the result is 60 lines.  Amusingly, that's
exactly the average of the lengths in his table.  The loop consists of
calls on "send" and "recv" and a little bit of status checking and
comparing the echoed 19 characters to the original, so most of the
time ought to be in the OS.  Claw runs only on Windows, though,
not Linux, so I guess it's excluded.
  Looking at the gcc version, it's not clear to me why an Ada
transliteration should be significantly different in size.
