hi Ed,

that sample you gave me is G.R.E.A.T !! i've tested it on my
local pc at home = No problem...but in the firm it FAILED
at the firewall...i don't understand why...

the 80:HTTP port is free for use, the other famous ports are
forbidden: 21, 25, 110, etc...

do you understand why the programm failed to get the file...?
is there any difference between your programm and the
web-browser? i mean they are both sending the same
HTTP-Request when i want to download a file, correct ?

sorry, of course you're right, its NEVER possible to make a
exe "100 % standalone", but my definition of standalone means
usage of standard DLL's:

------------------------------------------------------
ADVAPI32.DLL
KERNEL32.DLL
WINSPOOL.DRV
COMCTL32.DLL
GDI32.DLL
USER32.DLL
OLEAUT32.DLL
------------------------------------------------------

those dll's are always needed by a naked BCB-program..
