The Problem is that when i call SendBuf i want to know for sure if the 
data will be sent. apart from that the first socket deals with file 
sending through a timer every one millisecond (sends 1kb). I want to add 
an abort and even if i close the timer there is still some data on the 
winsock that will be sent in the future and of course when the receiver 
takes them and calls fwrite then an access violation accurrs. So i want 
to know when all the data will have gone and then to send a code that 
will signal the abort process.

As For the first problem i know that i can call sendbuf like that:

while(sendbuf(a,packet)<0);

just to be certain that the data was sent. but there is no guarentee 
that the whole packet will be sent.

i am using TServerSocket and TClientSocket.

i was thinking of using the ClientSocket->LookupState!=isIdle property 
but i will have to check all 4 sockets. and i don't know if it will work.
