Cool, that seems to be pretty standard practice (except for PHP who let
almost anyone in).

The problem with that idea is that some systems (including OS/2 & I believe
Win9x/NT) have no equivalent of 'nice', at least not standard (not all the
world is unix).

The only one I know of (because I've been involved in its development) is
APR (see http://apr.apache.org/ ), an offshoot of the Apache Server
project.

It's not that big a deal though, I've attached the dl for OS/2 code I wrote
just to show how simple it is. I could write one for Win32 just as easily.

Ok, probably not worth worrying about for now. I tried it using an Apache
server running on the same machine & just got the "input not an Ogg Vorbis
audio stream" error.
