I have found this code for a TNFS tiny fileserver for the zx Spectrum.

Do you have any pointers fro converting it from C to Liberty basic

spectrum.alioth.net/svn/listing.php?repname=Spectranet&path=%2Ftrunk%2Ftnfs%2Ftnfsd%2F#path_trunk_tnfs_tnfsd_

It uses UDP and all I can find on the LB forum is about TCP

Any help would be greatful.

The lack of UDP examples in LB is likely due to how few applications really need it. I think I read somewhere that about 90% of Internet traffic is TCP. UDP is mostly for special cases where the low overhead is needed more than guaranteed reliability.

More to your main question, I have to ask do you have any experience using C or a C-like language? If the answer is "no" or "very little", translating it will be a nightmare.

From my quick look at the readme and main.c files, this app is multi-platform, which means it is loaded with #ifdef's and #elif's for conditional compilation for the features available on certain platforms. Not all C programmers regularly target multiple platforms (including myself) and translating such code to LB would be a very painstaking process.

Do you need the functionality this app provides or do you want to learn how to write a similar app in LB? If the former, you should look around for a compiled EXE or ask someone to build it for you. If the latter, I think you can find easier examples elsewhere.

Thanks for the reply.

I just want it for windows.

I have found some demos that do chat in VB6 and VB.net but like my C my VB is not to be found.
