It is void* because hbinet.c does not set _HB_ZNET_INTERNAL_ macro. > P.S. BTW, was this your Christmas gift? :) No, not yet and I do not know when I'll find time to finish it :-( > P.S.2.

One is support for ZLIB compression in sockets and the second is option to register it as filter in PRG level HB_INET*() sockets. You are right that I haven't added mechanism for multiple filters but it needs much deeper modifications to make it well and I do not know if I want to fight with HB_INET*() code. Sooner or later it will be replaced by new PRG INET API where I would like to implement few things in different way. Now I only want to add an option to current hb_znet*() functions to enable blowfish encryption. Please also remember that encryption has to be after compression because it's not possible to compress well encrypted data. I hope I'll add it soon and then add support for compression and encryption to NETIO code. best regards, Przemek _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list (attachment size limit: 40KB) Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
