Hello again everyone!
I have spent all day pouring through the little program provided by Pete
Eberlein and then upgraded by Irv Mullins about the client/server
connections via telnet in Linux and I have learned a lot. It wasn't
until I realized finally that this program only connected the
server/client for a moment at a time that I found out that I have been
going in the wrong direction. I now understand, at least the basics, of
calling C functions within Euphoria, yet I cannot use a situation where
the client calls functions from a server due to the many mud clients
already in use. Does anyone have information, or knows where to gain
information on establishing and maintaining sockets and connections
where a server machine would simply read input from a connection and
export text back to the connection? It sounds like it should be rather
basic.. But then again, if it was so basic I wouldn't be bothering this
mailing list so much. Seriously though, the program was very nice but
did not go the above aspects nearly enough. So, one last time (as to not
flood everyone here with messages about this) I ask anyone out there for
some guidance in this matter.
Thank you again for all your help thus far,
Paul
