Greetings all, Thanks for recent help :-) I've read all I can about sockets and client/server apps in general - I understand what listen and accept do etc. But I am still very new to C++Builder 6. So, I am looking for examples of using C++Builder 6 to make a simple server app using sockets (rather than ask here every time I hit a snag.) The Borland book has limited examples, and the various CBuilder books online didn't have any simple examples. I see many examples online using VC, Java, C#, Windows API etc. but they are not so useful for learning the way C++Builder uses events (I am using the plain old ServerSocket component.) So, can someone suggest some examples and tutorials developing a simple socket based server using C++Builder specifically? Thanks, Quentin

Have you looked at the example projects that ship with BCB yet? Gambit

Once installed, they are simple to use, have a number of good examples which you could probably modify to get your server running quickly, and when things go wrong they have a helpful user group. --- and no I don't work for them !!!!

Look here http://www.tangentsoft.net/wskfaq/ and here http://beej.us/guide/bgnet/ for a downloadable book about network programming. These two sites have examples using pure socket code so they are usable with C++Builder. Michel -- ---------------------------------------- Michel Leunen mailto: see my homepage.

Hi all, Thanks for those helpful suggestions, will check them out. Remy - I have done the examples from the QuickStart guide, but now I see there are more examples in a folder called um, "examples" :-) Thanks for that tip. Q.
