Multi thread (2nd post)
Hello,
I have checked out the attached following codes,
as some good people sent me in this forum,
and I have some questions :
1) How "pipe" can be done not from the same computer (server & client are
not the same computer) ?
2) How "pipe" can be done to transport files, and streams ? (Also, what is
the VC6's object for file-management ?)
Need specific samples (may be a brief explanation).
The code :
--------
Server

// The main loop creates an instance of the named pipe and
// then waits for a client to connect to it. When the client
// connects, a thread is created to handle communications
// with that client, and the loop is repeated.
for (;;)
