Sorry for this post, but I've lost Ray's email address. Hi Ray (and everybody), I must say that I'm really really really interested in your eulibnet routines for euphoria. I am writing a server/client chat tool, and I've picked up your demo and I'm trying to make some improvements on it. You say that the Libnet is a very portable library... are you working on a port fot Unix/Linux systems? I'm actually trying to compile the C source of Libnet under linux with the gcc compiler...if I succeed,let me know and I'll send you the "libnet.so" I you need it. -- Questions: It's possible to open several ports at the same time?(one for listening,another one for transmit...) it would speed up the server? If the client doesn't knows the port of the server, it would be possible to create a routine on the client (like a port scanner/sniffer) so that he can find the correct listening port in the server? Even more, if the client doesn't knows the port and the IP of the server, it would be possible to program the server so it transmits a kind of signal to the www so that anyone from the net with the client,can connect to? thanks & regards, Luis
