Hi Andy, AB> That's great, thank you very much. I have a couple of other AB> questions that sprang from using this code. AB> 1. I couldn't get the WorldState addDeferredUIMessage: to do AB> anything.

uh yeah I wasn't sure what approach you would choose and I was about to leave for work. Sorry. First I'm on Squeak 3.8 so let me try Pharo. All works fine in what I just downloaded from Pharo Website. So, after you added the deferred UI message, the next line (sendUDPData...) should pop up an Inspector with an Array. I found the deferred UI message trick somewhere in the archives or maybe got direct help from someone. You won't need it. You need two images. In the receiver you build a loop in which you do something like: commSocket dataAvailable ifTrue: [receiveResult := commSocket receiveUDPDataInto: receiveBuffer. "now display your time in a big TextMorph"] ifFalse: [myDelay wait] Doing real time asynchronous things with the Squeak UI is a bit tricky but following the lead of ClockMorph should get you going. The common animation methods in Squeak isolate you from that problems but changing a Morph's shape at the wrong moment is not good. Sorry I can't be more specific but if you report problems I will remember them, I did several animations of lots of Morphs. AB> 2. Out of curiosity, I tried used the NetNameResolver AB> addressForName: method as a way of getting a socket address AB> (instead of using the ByteArray. I tried this when nothing was AB> working, and I noticed the method call in several of the Socket AB> methods. However, Squeak gave me a DNU. Is there a simple way to AB> enter host names using the NetNameResolver, or have I completely AB> misunderstood its function? no, you haven't. I used the code in a network with fixed IP's and no DHCP running. Right here using NetNameResolver works just fine. If you doIt: (NetNameResolver addressForName: 'aComputersName') inspect you should get an Inspector on a ByteArray with the IP address.
