Hi Carl,
I would like to suggest extension of tcp ports section. I remember how I
explained ot one of Phoenix folks working with ports is not all that
difficult, once REBOL user understands the issue.
e.g.
- 'first on listen port will wait forever
- 'first on another tcp port will be timed out, so suggest to use wait
- show Sterling's aproach of wait command used on reduced block of ports
- show wait with one argument of time type (wait [port1 port2 5])
- explain to people, that there is no 'second, 'third etc. applied to
tcp ports. give them example of tetris, where once bottom line is
filled, everything shifts dows. If I understand it correctly, tcp ports
work in similar manner - you read out from them by "'first port", until
the buffer is not empty ....
- explain differences between buffered, direct, binary, etc. ports ....
etc.
I am not sure my comments are valid enough, so decide for yourself ...
Cheers,
