I've looked through the adasockets docs again and I see that there is
a lower level Receive function/procedure that uses streams. So, I have
to correct myself when I said it doesn't do streams.

So, when I get around to it, I might have a look at using streams, but
for the present, the Get_Line interface works just fine and is nice
and easy.

Sorry for the confusion. Sometimes the memory plays tricks. I should
have gone back and double checked.

You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a
