Re: [GD-Windows] Network code

[Mike <mi...@ge...>]

we use HawkNL with pretty good results, it is a layer above sockets, 
provides a number of message types and is cross-platform.

www.rakkarsoft.com also provide their own network API that is freely 
licensable if you email them nice ;}

i'm considering using rakkar's system for our v2 engine.
