PostPosted: May 6th, 2013, 9:59am    Post subject: Simple Server/Client Chat Demo Reply with quote

On the Liberty BASIC Community Wiki there's a demo of using winsock to establish a client-server TCP connection. It's documented as being based on an 'Original program by Brent Thorn, Feb. 2004':

http://basic.wikispaces.com/wsock_demo

Unfortunately although the program appears to work correctly under Windows XP, it doesn't run under more recent versions of Windows, typically failing with an 'Invalid Argument' error. It turns out that there are multiple problems with the code, and it really ought never to have worked!

I have made the necessary changes and the program below seems to work on all versions of Windows including 8, at least back to Windows 2000 if not before.

Code:
