hi

1. is it possible to get the broadcast address based on the subnet mask and
ip address? If yes, what functions can i use?

2. I need to have an auto update program to as to check for an updated
software in the web server. Once downloaded, i need to rename the existing
file and close the existing program. After that i need to copy the updated
program to overwrite the existing program. Is there a way to ensure that the
existing program is closed completely? Is there a function to 'kill' the
program?

Thanks
Chris
