Jim - thanks for the kind words :-)

I do have both still up there - but the TCP sample goes by the snappy names of
  TCP App 1     (which is the 'server' style app - but see below)
  TCP App 2     (the client)

TCP App1 is simplified from a normal server, because it will only accept a single connection, but that has little impact on the way the rest of it works.

But Dave is right that these are basically 'sample' apps rather than full blown real-world apps. However, I think they have enough in there to be robust and useful as a starting place.

In general, the Rev docs on networking are skimpy - especially for UDP - but it all seems to work reliably and to have most things that would be needed by 90% of us. Some of the corner cases (e.g. data being arbitrarily buffered into, or split between, packets causing problems with blocking reads, or neo-jumbo packets being silently swallowed) are never going to be described by the language documentation.
