RE: [Gcl-devel] GCL Socket questions

[Mike Thomas]

Hi Camm.

As an extra Windows testing data point, I'm pleased to report that this:


| 1) Install netcat
| 2) in a shell, do nc -l -p 1920
| 3) In gcl osmehwere else, (setq s (si::socket 1920 :host "localhost"))
| 4) (format s "hello%") ; should appear in netcat window
| 5)  Type "there <cr>" in netcat window
| 6) In gcl (read-line s) ; (should get "there")
| 7) In gcl (close s) ; should terminate netcat.

Worked perfectly on Windows.  Never heard of netcat before but I'm a fan
now; thanks for the info Camm.

Cheers

Mike Thomas.
