Hi again Thomas.................:-)

 LL>> void main(void)
 TS> int main(void) { /* please! it is always _int_ main(...) */   int
 TS> strulen;

   I just read about the reasoning behind this yesterday in a C book that I
checked out of the library.  Thanks for reaffirming this information. :-)

 TS> memset(&user,0,sizeof(user)); memset(&mtag2,0,sizeof(mtag2));
 LL>>         fread(&user, sizeof(struct username_in), 1, in);
 TS> strulen=fread(...);

    Thanks again for the code and pointers Thomas. Much appreciated! :-)
