No. I don't have one.

That's all I'm asking :)

The message was in Gambas. A Windows server rebooted. However since then
I have changed machines (both the server machine and the workstation)
and had the same problem with PUBLIC SUB Socket_Read() or WRITE #Client
in PUBLIC SUB Socket_Ready()... until I swapped those two lines of code
around.

It wasn't working until I the instant I swapped those two lines then,
VOILA! It suddenly worked and refused to let me repeat the problem.

Anyway, all I wanted was for you to take a look and you've offered to do
that so I'm happy. If it happens again I'll let you know if I discover
anything.

Thanks, your help is appreciated.
