Re: [Dev-C++] Linux 'socket' calls...

[Brenden T. <br...@rc...>]

I think you need to use the winsock API.  I've never used it, but it 
appears to provide a Unix compatible TCP/IP interface.  The FAQ is at:

http://tangentsoft.net/wskfaq/

Don't forget to also check out the winsock API (there's a link in the 
FAQ but here it is anyway:

http://www.sockets.com/winsock2.htm#Docs

)

Good luck,
Brenden
