Does anyone know of a good library or have written a good library to use winsock. If so then I would like to get my hands on it if you dont mind. I need to do some network program to send game info over the net and all the stuff I have read on it make it sound very frightening. I know if I use a library then it adds extra overhead to my program, but I am not worried about this. If you can help me out then leave a message here or send me an email

I don''t have a winsock library, but I do have a DirectPlay one you can have if you''re interested.

one comes with mfc, but I think its just easier to use straight winsock. You may think its easier in the beginning to use a helper library, but when you want to resolve a name without blocking you''ll have some problems.

is direct play ok to use for a mmorpg, well not real massive, maybe 100 - 200 users at one time ?
Email your library to me if you dont mind ziplux.
And thanks in advance.

Winsock''s not hard to use, if you''re planning on porting to UNIX later be wary of the WSA* calls that allow you to use Windows message processing, but if you''re just planning on using Windows, its simpler to do it the WSA* way.
I wrote a client/server message passing library on top for my stuff, if you''re interested in details, send email. I would recommend something simple to isolate you from details(especially client/server connection details).
I have a generic wrapper class that I have coded around winsock.
It is simple and may help you develop a class that works for you...
It has simple calls like DHLSock::Open(), which sets up a listen socket waiting for clients,
and DHLSock::Read... You get the ideal.
Just send me email to my home account, that way I''m sure to send it to you.
Again, it is just a wrapper around the real generic winsock stuff
