[Dev-C++] sockets

[Andrew H. <ah...@ci...>]

To All,

I have just installed Dev-C++ Version 4.9.8.0 on my Windows XP machine
and I had intended to use it to build an application to connect to other
another
machine via a socket. I see no mention of sockets in the help screens and
there
is no socket.h file in the include directory.

I guess my question is can I use Dev-C++ to but a socket base application.
If
not can you suggest a method of communication over IP with a UNIX machine?

Thanks,

Andy
