1. RE: TCP/IP?
Hi Colin,
I have no great news ... but the libraries I have wrappers for:
euTcp4u, and
euLibnet
are both built on cross platform network comms libraries but I have
only made wrappers for the Win32 versions.
I had intended to persue a Linux version in both of them but my Linux
box has been out of action for a few months now .... AND I don't
have much Linux experience AND I don't have much time!
euTcp4u had a limitation of being better suited to simple client
server models. This could be improved by anyone who wanted to add/
modify the current "accept" function in the base library (written
in C). If this is achieved I beleive it would suit all users!!!
Anyone interested in single client / server models would find
euTcp4u very acceptable right now.
euLibnet (as mentioned recently) lacks DNS lookup functonality but
otherwise seems stable. It has been designed for computer games
meaning it has a few less functions available.
Anyone who is interested in developing a cross platform TCP library
should check these two libraries.

Yeh, I know. I got the euTcp4u wrapper, but couldn't manage to compile
TCP4U, which I also downloaded, into a .so (shared library) file, the
type which Euphoria can use. Oh well... 8-|

Thx... a lot! That would be a great help. I need that file badly
enough to kill for it... almost. I attempted to start the project again
in C++, but I'm waaaay off my C-programming game. If you find the file,
could you e-mail it to me as an attachment?
