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 I have uploaded my almost complete sockets library called EuTcp4u to my very out of date web page.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

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. -- evil, corruption and bad taste ^cense

"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. Ray Smith

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! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ray Smith" <smithr at IX.NET.AU> Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2000 8:09 PM Subject: Beta Release of EuTcp4u Windows socket Library > Hi There, > > Due to popular demand (thanks Kat!!!)
