Hello there Serge,

I should have mentioned that the only thing to remember is
that the DisplayServer201.exe program has to be started
BEFORE you start your own program using the 'connect.ew'
file. The program doesnt use any processor time while it's 
sitting idle, and it returns much faster then a dos console.
The default size starts out small, but you can drag it
to a larger window with the mouse.

Just to recap, the operating steps are as follows:

[1]
Start DisplayServer201.exe by double clicking on it.
This will start a window in the upper left corner of your screen.

[2]
Start your own program exw or exe with the 'include connect.ew'
file in it and some ServerPrint() calls.


If you do [2] first and then [1], your program wont connect
to the server so you wont be able to print anything.

Once the starting order is right, you'll see a message
that says something like:
"__ClientConnected__"
which tells you your own program can send data via ServerPrint().

As you already noticed, ServerPrint("Hello") is a very good
test to make sure your program is truely connected.

This is a very simple but VERY handy program, but
if any other problems come up, feel free to let me know
about them.


Take care for now,
Al
