Frank makes a very good point, easy for a programmer to use also means
easy for a programmer to install.

Bringing the library into the project as a header / source only
include and committing to the CEL repository is an option? If so, this
should be a very easy task and make configuring compiling much easier.
I can add this to my proposal.

As you have previously said, the library works well, is tested and if
it can be included in CEL then I cannot see changing TCP library would
provide anything. Changing library probably wouldn't give anything
back and would be a step back in terms of making progress?

I am currently working on my application changes, will have this with you soon.

Best regards,

Dan
