Oldes: I was just about to write this, I asked is this a bug a few 
months ago, but no, it returns a block when you select with /skip 
because you can select more-than-one value if your skip size is > 
2 , otherwise you cannot get the further values. You select block 
of values when use /skip.

The C standard is (as always) very vague and doesn't specify a particular 
storage size. I think it just defines that _Bool must be able to 
hold 0 and 1.

John, you may want to try -Os. Optimising for size often leads to 
best speed, too, on modern architectures due to caching efficiency. 
OS X is also compiled that way

I don't think so, as it's a simple memcpy. The C code looks like 
this:

	if (rb->type == STRUCT_T) {
		if (rc->type == HANDLE_T) {
			Struct *U = (Struct *) rb->value.rc;

   memcpy (U->u, (char *) ((Handle *) rc->value.rc)->pointer, U->size);
		} else
			invalid_argument (W, rc);
	} else
		invalid_argument (W, rb);

Under OS X, I get an empty binary, which is expected behaviour. Under 
WinXP, the process hangs here. The OS X and Linux version of World 
use standard BSD networking, the Windows version use MS networking, 
where an init is needed. You're welcome to suggest changes to the 
host specific sources. At this stage, I won't use a lot of time on 
Windows specific sources, as I don't use that platform very much.


I consider using cURL for networking, as that could give a lot of 
features fast. If I find, it adds too much to the overall size of 
World, it could be cut along the way by moving features from cURL 
to World sources.
