Winsock SendData problems
I'm writing an app that uses the Microsoft Winsock control to send data
strings to a Unix (SGI IRIX) machine running custom server software ( Peak
Everest real-time 3D rendering environment). The strings are received by
Everest and used to control the software.
The problem I'm have is when I send the string, Everest just sits there
until I disconnect, then Everest receives the string and uses it. Someone
suggested I use a doevents after I send the string but this doesn't work.
It is very inconvenient to have to send a string then disconnect then
reconnect to send another string. I need to send many string to Everest so
I would like to stay connected rather then wait for a disconnect and
reconnect.
Also is there a way to receive binary files they way you can receive strings
with winsock?
Any Ideas? Is this normal for winsock stuff? Will a 3rd party winsock
perform better such as Socket wrench?
Thanks
Jim
