Hi There,
Due to popular demand (thanks Kat!!!) I have uploaded my almost complete
sockets library called EuTcp4u to my very out of date web page.
You can access it by going to http://members.nbci.com/ray_223/sw/ and
downloading EuTcp4u.zip.
A few notes:
1. This almost complete version allows:
* connecting / sending / receiving messages using sockets (including high
level routines for sending and receiving a Euphoria Sequence)
* Downloading Web Pages via Http protocol
Future Versions "might" include:
* UDP messages
* telnet functions
* a send SMTP email function
2. This is a wrapper based on cross platform sockets library called Tcp4u.
At this stage I have only used it with Windows but Linux shouldn't be
difficult to implement (if you know something about Linux - my 30 minutes
of playing didn't achieve much)
3. A reasonably complete manual in HTML is included.
4. Example programs have been included to demonstrate how to use "most" of
the functions available in the library.
5. The Tcp4u DLL library file is only about 55KB in size.
6. I haven't worked out how to create a multi client enabled server demo
yet. I actually haven't tried yet either so the demo programs are all 1
server - 1 client based.
7. I would love to get any feedback by people who are interested in this
library.
8. Tcp4u and the wrapper EuTcp4u are released under the GLGPL license.
Thanks
Ray Smith

Sound very cool Ray, i might just have to take a look and see what it offers
that i simply cannot do with low-level "C" socket wrappers in linux ( *yet* )
This should be very interesting because it is cross-platform. Ff you are
looking for anyone to do a linux port of it, i might just be up for the job.
I'll have to look at it first and see what needs to be done before i
*actually* volunteer for such a thing though.

I'd be happy for you (or anyone else) to do a Linux port. "In Theory"
it "shouldn't" be difficult! (I've said that "in theory" line before and
mostly been very wrong!!!)
I have a Linux shared library file (.so) lying around at home somewhere
that I could send to you if you want. It wasn't easy to find, I think I
found it on a Debian package site. My Linux / makefile skills are lacking
and I couldn't create a shared library file from the source. I'm sure
people in know could do it in a few minutes.
I was able to get the library to initialise under exu and call a few of the
simple functions but after that I started getting errors and left it.

My gosh, I have to say that I'm _very_ impressed with this! Not only is the
functionality great, but the ease with which it can be used is fantastic!
I've allways wanted to write a little online game, with this perhaps I might
finally have the motivation to get me going! :)
Thank you very much for the hard work in this project!
