Is it possible to cause this sort of thing to happen on Windows. Specifically, I'm looking for a way to cause multiple processes to accept new connections on a bound socket. on UNIX, I can just fork() after binding the server socket to a port and the children can accept() on that same socket, but on Windows, I don't know how to make that work. Any ideas? Thanks!
