Hi all, I am about to write a client/server app and would like to use sockets to facilitate communication between them, I have heard a rumour, that may be untrue that they are unreliable and cause more problems than they solve. Could anyone please clarify the following: Are sockets reliable? Should I use Borland's implementation of the socket or should I create them directly myself ? What should I be most aware of before I start using sockets ? Many thanks Joe

Borland's implementation works, as long as you use it properly. Or there are plenty of third-party implementations that are good as well. It all depends on what exactly you plan on doing with the sockets and what kind of operations you indend to perform on them - whether you want to write them manually or to find an implementation that already supports them.
