Yes, yes, yes.
I work with an IRC-based protocol that mixes binary data with
ASCII data,
and it often appears that REALbasic internally swaps some of
the received
data around. I've done as many tests as I could and have not
been able to
pin it on any of my code. It's been a problem since at least
5.5.5 and still
up until 2006r3.
Hmm, I'm getting in over my head. The only thing I have left is
to ask whether you're sending data via UDP or TCP, 'cause I know
UDP packets can arrive out of order. I think I know that,
anyway. :) But at that point I am in over my head, so all I can
do is wish you luck.
TCP guarantees order of delivery of packets and delivers every packet
(unless you've disconnected or something like that)
UDP does not guarantee any such things which can make it faster but
less reliable.
