Well, thanks for the kind words, but I have to say that the major work 
was done by Bill Orcutt, I just made the Windows port initially. Later 
some bug fixes were added, but there still is a problem that crashes Max 
after a few hours of use of the external.
In the meantime I rewrote most of the code in order to use just one 
child thread which is running all the time (instead of starting a new 
thread for each MySQL query as it was done in Bill's code). This new 
version was recently used quite successful for this project 
http://www.timelinesonline.com/ (sending about 80 MySQL queries every 15 
seconds for about 12 hours). I'll probably put it online quite soon, 
including an UB for Intel Macs if there is some interest.
