- Made the "Connect Client Info" structure private within the class. Added additional functionality to "read-only" allow access to this data.
- Threads are now created in a suspended state then resumed after the creation succeeds.
- Threads are now created in a suspended state then resumed after the creation succeeds. This was causing some threads to be created which attempted to use their own handles before they were created.

- Added many new connect overloads. You can now connect and return to handle client data on your own, have connect spawn a new thread to handle the connection, or have the connect function use the calling thread to block execution.
- Added and refined new sample code.
- Added and refined new sample code, now includes a bench marking application and a simple console chat application.
- Moved TCP Pump thread event handle to the class.
- Moved TCP Pump thread event handle to the class. This makes the class much safer for multi-instance per-application use.
- Brought back "Raw Mode" method of operation.

- Fixed memory leak caused by CreateThread(), this was resolved by using _beginthreadex().
- Changed all functions to use a custom dynamically sizing type for their buffers.
