Chapter 17. Server Applications Using TCP/IP

Introduction

In the previous chapter we discussed the creation of client applications using TCP/IP. In this one we will explore the other side of the process, a TCP/IP-based server program. In SIMPOL TCP/IP server programs are largely similar to client programs except in one specific area: the initialization of the program. Aside from that, they merely use a tcpsocket object to conduct the opposite half of the conversation to that of the client.
