Hello All,
I cannot seem to find a standard socket or sockets unit in the gpc unit library. It's not possible that a modern implementation of any language can lack this functionality in it's standard libraries, so, the problem must be me.
Is the socket functionality hosted in another unit or is there some other standard way to implement network functionality in gpc ?
I'd prefer using gpc above freepascal as all my other code targets the gcc platform. I really like the idea of linking to colleagues c and pascal libraries (I've yet to determine if this is possible with fpc).
I got a fpc socket example up and running within 5 minutes of downloading fpc, I scrounged the web for 2 hours trying to find a gpc socket example with no luck...
regards Thys

Yes. Please see the very recent thread "Network functions?". You can read it in the archives on our web site.
