subject: FOSSIL hell.

So I'm suffering in FOSSIL hell right now.

Damnit, the only part of door writing I don't like is dealing with the
communications routines.  Why can't it be simple?

My latest door library is built upon the Elecom library, which is great.
However, I can't get the damn FOSSIL part object to work... AT ALL.  Even the
example.pas "door" included with the library doesn't work and I'm
at my witts
end.

I'm ready to say "too hell with FOSSIL and DOS/16bit" at this
point.  Sockets
are so much nicer (never thought I'd say that).

Has anyone out there reading here had experience with the Elecom FOSSIL
routines and gotten them to work with DOS 16, DOS 32 or Win32 platforms?
