The docs say the socket unit is ported to windows.

The two programs (thereabout pg. 1056) named server and client, do not seem to work 100%.

I tried on windows - and there was an issue at (what ended up begin line 31 in my server.pas test program from the manual) this line:

If not Accept(S,  FromName,    Sin,    Sout ) Then

The compiler complained about the data type for FromName.

I learn much better when I have a working example - that I can use as a starting point for experimenting etc.

Does anyone have a simple client/server example of the sockets unit that will compile on both linux and win32?

Thank you,

if no one jumps in with the exact answer, i would suggest that you might get better answers from the list if you :

a) post a complete, but minimal example of source that demonstrates the problem.

b) post the *exact* errors you get when you compile it.
