    Hi
    Its been a while since I have even looked at cpp, - curse you PowerBasic -

    has anyone got an extremly simple echo client/server (TCP) prog out there??

    I'm just looking for something to send say hello world
    and the server would send it back

    windows btw

    preferably not classes

    Best bet is to do a search for winsock.h and its socket functions... theres probably a few hundred hello world examples out there :)

    Personally I haven't looked at it since college but afair as soon as you setup winsock and initialize the socket (which isnt terribley tasking), its basically a case of using send() & recv() functions on the client side and bind() and accept() on the server side.
