Re: [Synalist] Simply send a string over TCP/IP

[Gerard <gsl...@ni...>]

No offense, but if you don't have a clue about sockets or threads and
the echo server is too complicated you might be in the wrong profession ;-)

Sure, you might get a program running with Indy by dropping a component
and setting some properties but you will hit the wall pretty soon after that.

Anyway all the best, :-)
