Hello Erik,

Thanks for your response. I'm frustrated with attempting to build scotty with
WinNT 4.0 and VC 5.0. The problems that I've run into are that in the makefile
I need to set paths with long file names in the path and nmake does not seem to
handle this consistently or properly. I moved the path include parameters to
the NT envrionment strings, but then got compilation errors with winsock.h
(duplicate structure, fs_set), in the very 1st file, which makes no sense at
all. I tried to set up a new VC project using the data in the makefile, but
have not been sucessful as yet and have put this aside for now. I don't have
the data for your questions below as yet.
