The FUPLOAD installation program automatically sets up an HTTP server. 
And when I tested FUPLOAD under that configuration there was a delay of 
about 40 seconds on the initial call.  But when I configured my default 
server to run it, the delay never occured.

I studied the code quite a bit and even converted it to free-form in 
WDSC, and tested it in Debug mode.  It turns out that there's just one 
ALLOC, one read from STDIN and one write to the IFS file.  It performed 
fine for me.  ALLOC as a 16 meg limitation.  But I think you can get 
around that by doing multiple reads from STDIN and multiple writes to 
the IFS file.

The Net.Data macro is a lot simpler.  I like that.  Your PHP sample was 
so terse that it was hard for me to understand.  I come from a COBOL 
background, and prefer verbose code, perhaps.  Notwithstanding, I'm 
interested in learning more about PHP.
