Yes, I agree that read and write are better, because of the
"portability" of the names to non-sockets that it gives. I've wanted to
make that change for some time, but the thing that has been preventing
me is what to call the datagram functions sendto and recvfrom, as
writeto and readfrom don't seem quite right. Any suggestions?

Cheers,
