[python-win32] Re: win32file and win32pipe

[Neil Benn]

Hello,

             Thank you for the response, I came to the same conclusion 
after digging through the C source and thought of the trailing null on 
the tram on the way home!!  Oh well stayed in work until 21:00 because I 
couldn't see the wood for the trees.

    Hopefully someone might have a similar problem in the future and my 
wasted evening not be in vain.

Cheers,

Neil
