we we needed to write (TCP) socket programs porable between windows and unix, we found that this can be done with very few #ifdef-s. mostly with getting the last error (errno Vs. WSAGetLastError), and the winsock initialization/cleanup required by windows. i _Assume_ the same can be down with UDP - so just write yourself 2-3 macros to hide the #ifdefs, and write the program in plain C, using the native socket libraries of your different platforms. -- guy "For world domination - press 1, or dial 0, and please hold, for the creator." -- nob o. dy ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
