&gt; &gt;Out of interest, can anyone recommend a good book on socket programming?
&gt; &gt;It a skill I'm sadly lacking to any useful degree...all I need to do then
&gt; &gt;is work out how to draw a pixel on the screen, and the rest I can do ;)
&gt; 
&gt; I started with the man pages nd the sources to a few MUD servers. 
&gt; Steven's "Unix Network Programming" and "Advanced Programming Int The Unix
&gt; Environment" are both excellant.  I use Steven's "TCP/IP Illustrated" (in
&gt; three volumes) as my ultimate reference.  There is another 3 volume TCP/IP
&gt; reference set (forget title or author, but I haven't used or studied them. 

I highly recommend the above books, though I slightly prefer the other
3-volume set.  It's "Internetworking with TCP/IP" by Comer, possibly with
Stevens, depending on which volume.

Back when I was at a similar stage in MUD development, I was sufficiently
annoyed by the lack of good example socket code that I wrote some of my
own.  I've put it at:

<A  HREF="http://www.slimy.com/~jleonard/src/ipc.html">http://www.slimy.com/~jleonard/src/ipc.html</A>

I've also declared it public domain code, in the hope that someone may
get some use from it.
