I'm glad someone finds them easy to work with :)  I sure don't.  I've only
had luck with a commercial lirary I acquired from another author.  Only
downside is that it's heavily rooted in BP7 and made up of a million library
files (exaggeration, but it is a lot).

Elecom has been the most promising library I've seen recently.  The socket
portion of the code works wonderfully, but as I said - the FOS_COM portion
doesn't work at all (at least from what I can tell) - though it could be my
setup.  I haven't been able to determine what the story is yet.

What I need is a bare-bones comm library that's highly portable (through
compiler switches is good).  My door library is a wrapper that can be fitted
to a new com library in a matter of minutes.

I'm going to continue trying to get the FOSSIL portion of Elecom to work and
if I do, that'll be the library I go with.
