Is there a way to manage errors when writing across a network (one XP
machine to another)?  If I turn off the 2nd machine while the write
operation is ongoing, the application seems to lock up for a number of
seconds - before coming responsive again.

I do not want to throw an exception (cannot use TStream).  I have tried
fwrite and placed the breakpoint after the fwrite would fail and it takes
30-60 seconds from the time the 2nd computer is turned off until the
breakpoint is displayed.

I would like to simply note the error and stop writing the file when the
network goes down - how can this be done efficiently.  Also, is there an
efficient way to determine if the network connection is alive (before trying
the write).

Thank you for your assistance.
Marvin
