Indeed it is fixed. I'm so embarrassed by the screwup. Especially since I was able to replace it with simpler, more portable code that worked correctly. :-)

I think this will be the last update for a little while, unless somebody sends me a killer idea to work on. I have one or two tweaks to add to the TCP library but I am mostly of out of ideas/apps for the project.

I am thinking about doing a network virtual hard drive installed by device driver, but that is just in the 'interesting idea' category at the moment. The target there would be for older/small machines where SMB overhead is not needed or desired.
