Then my appologies to all as OpenSRS did not tell me Windows was an "officially unsupported client", nor have I read that anywhere!
My apopologies to all.

Windows isn't an "officially unsupported client", but what I've written myself is. And despite that, there's been plenty of support for resolving issues and debugging.

Yup, this list and the support of those whos lead I am now following.

1) I've said at least twice that Tucows support is *AWESOME*, I'm just peived at the API Docs.

Taking the API docs out of the context of a working implementation seems unfair to me.

Then I guess we have different ideas as to how to support a standard in a way thet the average coder can implement a small part of that standard in 4 hours or less in the language they are most comfortable with. It's my understanding that that's what "open" means.

I'm just trying to use Windows OS to register domains via Tucows .... *NOW* I'm whining! LOL!

What you're trying to do and how you're going about doing it are two
seperate things.

Fine. Restatement,

I *NEED* to implement Tucows domain registration soley via a pure Windows OS implementation ....
