Both Robert Dickenson and myself.  I guess the confusion has arisen from 
what I consider the semantics of the word 'rewrite' is.  It looked to me, as 
if you had reformatted and factorised and made a lot of good code changes 
but still used the original file as your starting point.  Maybe I'm 
mistaken, or perhaps my definition of rewrite is to strict.

Having said that, I am pleased to see that someone is working in this area 
of the networking apps, please do keep up the good work.

Tim
