ALL THAT is left for the program above to be done:

-----

3.) Allow the option (in the "file format scrub" portion, topmost button) to generate HOSTS files that use either:

127.0.0.1 (slowest/largest option, BUT most compatible)
- gave me a 19mb sized HOSTS file

0.0.0.0 (next largest/slowest option, less compatible across diff. OS', but, is faster loadtime & smaller RAM occupancy in the local DNS cache your OS + tcp/ip stack keeps than 127.0.0.1)
- gave me a 14mb sized HOSTS file

OR, a NEW more efficient format I am using ( 0<singlespace>URLtoBLOCK<cr+lf> ) that actually WORKS for bad adbanners/sites, as it quite literally shaved my HOSTS file down from 14mb size, to 11mb, already, yet yields FULL blocking function!

-----

* JUST ABOUT DONE - very close (& I have forgotten how much work even freewares can be @ times!)

P.S.=> This has taken me a lot longer than I had expected even though I have (for example) the PING code already from many apps like that I have done before that use such code (ICMP.DLL functions for ping)...

Cutting & pasting it from those said other programs has a downside:

I have to account for the fact I built in a lot of things SPECIFIC to the app it was in initially, & that means cutting those things out for THIS app (a pain!), but, it's coming along perfectly, thusfar, & DONE RIGHT, in each of its sections/functions... apk
