Thank You, it worked great. Its not so simple when I have no idea what a 4 byte unsigned integer in network byte order even is. I thought I would need to use pack, but had no idea how it worked. I'm still clueless & learning, but I greatly appreciate the help of people who know more than me. Thank You very much. P.S.
