Ah yes, that looks cleaner! Mine was really an 'approach which works for now"
type thing.

I will certainly have a try at building the server. My biggest problem with the
make stuff though is that 'make install' fails apparently due to it
trying to install proram names which are not suffixed bith .exe. Is there
and easy way to state tthat for Cyygwin a .exe should be appended ? I've
seen a 'suffixes' variable on a few other ported programs.
Whens the next release due out for me to have a go at then ?
cheers,
-pete.
