1. TCP/IP?
I currently develop software off of my home Linux box. Therein lies my
problem. As far as I know, there are no good Winsock-like (by
Winsock-like, I mean that they support multiple sockets, background
monitoring, and free-form packet sending (i.e. not just HTTP, FTP,
etc.), and in addition, require no machine-level programming) TCP/IP
Euphoria libraries for Linux, and I don't want to hack it with some C:
that's the reason why I started using Euphoria in the first place.
Anybody know if there are any decent libraries that would provide this
type of functionality?

2. Re: TCP/IP?
Here's an idea--one that I've meant to when I have all that time I keep
thinking I'm going to have...
I'd go to <http://www.cpan.org> to see how people have implementedwhat
you're looking for on Linux in Perl. Perl is pretty easy to pick up. I'm
guessing someone has just wrapped some C functions in Perl. It shouldn't
be too hard to translate them to Euphoria. Should be easier than starting
from scratch.
Hey, if you (or anyone else out there) starts doing this, let me know and
I'll pitch in.

I'm amazed that (as far as I know) there isn't a cross-platform TCP/IP
library yet considering the similarities between winsock and the UNIX socket
routines... maybe I'll write one if/when I have some free time. Anyway,
there are some Linux programs in the archives that use sockets... you mught
be able to put together a simple library from those. I don't know perl very
well, but I would think that it would be easier to wrap the socket routines
directly from C to Euphoria, if you can't find what you need in the existing
demo programs.

I did have a pre-built tcp4u.so file somewhere.
If your intersted I can try and remember where I saved it and pass it on.
