Exclamation Executing an external program & Winsock direct calling

From there I could do whatever I wanted with the data. My current goal is to send it via a winsock control to a listening client, so in reality, another cool function to have in the dll you are working on is direct winsock function calls.

Could you also email me with the dll/code you have developed?

Thanks!
tworkman,

It's a very good idea. (Executing an external program & Winsock direct calling).


But do you think it'll be good to put those function in the File Handling dll?

Isn’t it better to make another dll(s)?


I think executing an external program fit the File Handling dll, I'll add it and tell you.


About the Winsock, which functions you want to use?


I think you need these functions:


send
connect
listen
recv
