<div>All works, but I have noticed that along with the .EXE file I have to distribute ucd.dat, ecl.dll and sockets.fas (the latter because my program uses sockets through usocket) and they have to be in the same directory, otherwise the executable won't find them and doesn't run. Is there a way to make a real stand-alone .EXE file? </div>

<div>BTW where is the documentation for the socket library that comes with ECL? I would rather use that directly rather than usocket, because the latter seems to be unstable. My server often hangs and I get no error message! This happens both in Linux and in Windows, but more often in Windows.</div>
