To solve your problem you need to access or interface with the socket layer
of the OS you're working on. I am assuming you're using Windoze and/or MS-DOS.
Well im not sure about DOS, but windoze does have a socket API (Winsock) and
someone has written a wrapper for it (im not sure how complete it is). Pete
has also programmed the "Eu Server", this might just be what you need but i
dont know that for sure either.
You should search the RDS archive for "socket" and "eu server" and see what
comes up.
I dont know of what help this would be to you, but i myself am *still* working
on a socket wrapper for Linux (improving *alot* mostly). I would be willing
to answer any further questions on sockets for you if you like.
