I don't know how that applies to your programming environment (what is it, can you please remind?), but for me (C++, then Java) just the generalization of sockets as streams worked pretty good - keeping in mind the reusability as well. Besides that, the only difference between sockets and streams is protocol-dependent information (such as hostname, port, mode (UDP/TCP), etc.) > KaVir. -- Still alive and smile stays on, Vadim Tkachenko <VadimT#4CS,Com> -- UNIX _is_ user friendly, he's just very picky about who his friends are </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <ul compact><li><strong>Follow-Ups</strong>: <ul> <li><strong><A NAME="00287" HREF="msg00287.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Socket programming (was: The impact of the web on muds)</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> Richard Woolcock <KaVir#dial,pipex.com></li></ul> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <UL><LI><STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A NAME="00247" HREF="msg00247.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The impact of the web on muds</A></STRONG> <UL><LI><EM>From:</EM> Marian Griffith <gryphon#iaehv,nl></LI></UL></LI> <LI><STRONG><A NAME="00255" HREF="msg00255.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The impact of the web on muds</A></STRONG> <UL><LI><EM>From:</EM> Travis Casey <efindel#polaris,net></LI></UL></LI> <LI><STRONG><A NAME="00258" HREF="msg00258.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The impact of the web on muds</A></STRONG> <UL><LI><EM>From:</EM> Richard Woolcock <KaVir#dial,pipex.com></LI></UL></LI> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00284.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The impact of the web on muds</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00286.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Gods, worshipers and the balance</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00259.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The impact of the web on muds</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00287.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Socket programming (was: The impact of the web on muds)</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00285"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00285"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><STRONG>Re: [MUD-Dev] The impact of the web on muds</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="00247" HREF="msg00247.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The impact of the web on muds</A></strong>, Marian Griffith <a href="mailto:gryphon#iaehv,nl">gryphon#iaehv,nl</a>, Sat 17 Jan 1998, 10:40 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00255" HREF="msg00255.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The impact of the web on muds</A></strong>, Travis Casey <a href="mailto:efindel#polaris,net">efindel#polaris,net</a>, Mon 19 Jan 1998, 22:13 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00258" HREF="msg00258.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The impact of the web on muds</A></strong>, Richard Woolcock <a href="mailto:KaVir#dial,pipex.com">KaVir#dial,pipex.com</a>, Tue 20 Jan 1998, 00:31 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00259" HREF="msg00259.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The impact of the web on muds</A></strong>, Nathan Yospe <a href="mailto:yospe#hawaii,edu">yospe#hawaii,edu</a>, Tue 20 Jan 1998, 02:52 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00285" HREF="msg00285.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Socket programming (was: The impact of the web on muds)</A></strong>, Vadim Tkachenko <a href="mailto:vadimt#4cs,com">vadimt#4cs,com</a>, Thu 22 Jan 1998, 20:35 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00287" HREF="msg00287.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Socket programming (was: The impact of the web on muds)</A></strong>, Richard Woolcock <a href="mailto:KaVir#dial,pipex.com">KaVir#dial,pipex.com</a>, Thu 22 Jan 1998, 21:14 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00288" HREF="msg00288.html">OT: Socket programming - platform specific</A></strong>, Jon A.
