Hi Marty,

Maybe it's understood as a given, but no one has mentioned studying what the docs say about sockets. Sockets are basic to communication between Rev stacks/apps running on different machines. Please pardon if this is all old news... but for the sake of newbies who may not be aware, I continue. You can learn about Rev's networking support by reading what the docs say about:

COMMANDS:
  open socket (note the 'with message' option on all of these)
  read from socket
  write to socket
  close socket

MESSAGES:
  socketClosed
  socketTimeout
  socketError

FUNCTIONS:
  openSockets

PROPERTIES:
  socketTimeoutInterval

I think the docs are always a good place to start.

Thanks -
Phil Davis

Hi all --

Sorry about a repeat query -- I'm sure this has come up before, but you
know how it is: you skim over messages on the list that don't pertain to
what you're currently working on.

Anyway, is there a tutorial on networking using RunRev?  I want to make
two Macs talk to each other (using Bonjour, or whatever else will work)
and share a stack.  Is this reasonably easy to do?  I'm exploring two
ideas: simple multi-user games for my students, and creating an
application where several users can draw on a card at the same time --
like SubEthaEdit, except with painting.

Thanks for any pointers (including subject headers of previous threads)
you can provide.

cheers,
  - marty
