Don't worry about the structure of it. I know it is bad but this was a quick and dirty little util I wrote up that I needed. Have fun With it and try to speed it up. And whoever else wants to help have fun! I hope this compiles I took out some stuff that would display a little picture of a sWord and show the version and product name. I also tried DJ's idea of the buffer of 65535 but it said the structure was too large.
