Hi Ian:

In you will have to work with socket connections that is "an interface"=20
to the operating system to send data over a network. Widely used these=20
days in Internet. I am working in an e-mail software, then I had to=20
research a little about it.

A socket is very much like a telephone - it's the endpoint of a
two-way communications channel.  By connecting two sockets together
you can pass data between processes, even processes running on
different computers, just as you can talk over the telephone once
you've made a phone call connecting your telephone with someone
else's.

You will find many tutorials in internet if you search for : Winsock,=20
socket connection, Windows Sockets, etc.

There is a good tutorial called "Windows Sockets:  A Quick And Dirty=20
Primer", but I do not remember the http address, anyway you can search=20
for this title.

If you wish I have a few pdfs about socket I can send you. Just let me=20
know if you want them.

Hope this can help you start.

Flavio.
