There was a large amount of scuttlebutt about this at the Borland conference.

Sockets are present in the FCL.
I don't know to what degree they're compatible to Delphi's, though. I think you'd have to write a compagnon class which is comparable to Delphi's socket.

Strange, I didn't see it in the Kylix Beta ?

the reason why i ask, is that i heard something about winshoes, now calling themselves indy, being in beta for linux and windows. i have heard mixed reviews of previous win versions, but does anyone have thoughts on this?

would this be something else to fill the palette, to entice more others to use laz?

i also heard something of borland is going to be using this package for kylix and D6

moose.

oops. my mistake.

i heard that indy thing one of the borland newsgroups, and then followed a link to new indy site.
if anyone is interested, i can refind it.
