Hi again David, thanks for your time. I work in various programming languages... this particular program I'm working on is largely in C++ but has a Visual Basic side too and some other flavors as well. As far as I can "smell" your code looks like my first programming language, Pascal, that is now Delphi. I am a bit ashamed to confess that I don't know that much about packets. Even though about 3 years ago I programmed an IRC bot in Delphi, that was using built in Delphi socket support and I am not so familiar with the packet term. I know what it is, how it works but this ain't enough. As far as I see in your code, it's pretty clear that your packet has a certain size... but... packets need an IP and other info which gets filled by whom? Sorry, really, I know that I shouldn't bother people here with this, I am too much of a newbie in some areas. I've been into programming only 8 years now out of which only the past 3 were more intensive.
As for my program... well... it works on NT 4 but I haven't tested it yet. It uses some features like layered windows which are only available on NT 5 and greater. So before saying that it works on NT 4 and 9x I gotta first install it there and make sure all code that refers to NT 5 features is separated properly and doesn't crash. When complete it will work on any Windows from 95 (included) above. Right now I'm working to fix a few gremlins that have been pesting me since yesterday at the functionality which replaces the systray clock with my clock. This weekend sure is full of work... which I'm gonna go back to right now... _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
