using socket in v8.3 ? how to use wsock32.dll ?

[majorwire]

Hi !

I want to be able to talk to another computer (Ip known) with progress v8.3. I only found the following program that is written in progress, but it doesn't explain me how to connect to the other peer...

I need the Connect() part and the conversion from ascii to network (inet_aton) ...

So, a client will connect to me, send me a message in ascii like "hello" and I will have to reply him "Good Morning" !

Thank you,

Denis
