Can you send and receive ? As that is what the chat example
does. That example uses SendText() which is not a good idea.
Better use SendBuf() end send the size of the message first.
How you can do that has been posted here many times.

Lets assume you have a char buffer that contains the message to be send.

	char buffer [ ];

	int size = ...; // amount of bytes in the buffer.

	Socket->SendBuf ( &size, sizeof(size) );
	Socket->SendBuf ( buffer, size );

Thats' all, but not really. You have to check the return
value of SendBuf() as it will not always send the requested
amount. If it did not you should use SendBuf() later again
with the remaining bytes. A loop with a Sleep() in it usually
does the job.

I posted complete code to send before in this group so you should
be able to find it. Als Remy posted samples. If you need help
with a sample than please start a new thead for a specific problem.

Iterate the ServerSocket1->Socket->Connection[] array. That array
contains the client sockets. Once you gabbed the Socket you
can than send to that client.

The way the server sends with SendBuf is the same as clients do.
So you could make a function that takes a Socket, the buffer and
the size as parameter and handles the complete send.

Oh no. You have to decide. You could try both.
Note that you can make a non-blocking server and blocking
clients. Al combinations are possible.
