Probably not 100% of your answers deserved posting as the answer, but sometime we answer anyway, not a big deal. Why not in this case? This can be really helpful, so I would gladly vote 5 for this text posted as the "solution". Not too late, by the way :-).

Thanks Sergey. Not sure why I didn't initially - I think I was just going to add the text up to but not including "Hints:", but thought better of that and decided to be helpful, rather than simply unpleasant.

As a member not afraid to 'tell it how it is', I really value your opinions mate - regardless of whether I share them or not (I rarely don't - I always say something :laughs: )

Hope you didn't get screwed over by the election or the hurricane.
Simon.

Thank you for your nice words.

I wasn't. I was in the lab during hurricane, it was the best place (no trees close to the car), it went down after 5 PM and even rain was mild, very warm outside. But when I came out, the light went off. For next day, we all worked at home. No blackouts at home, not for a minute. But last year, a pretty big tree fell next to my car -- not a scratch though. And none of the presidential candidates damaged anything yet. So far so good.

P.S.: I fixed the spelling of my first name in your post above, just to let you know...

Read the question carefully.
Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.

Please display some effort. Then we can help you with your project.
By definition, 'help' - means to assist with. It doesn't mean 'do for me'.

You don't explicitly ask for someone else to do it for you, but have displayed nothing - no-one even has a clue what you've tried and where you're stuck.

Some hints - break the problem up into smaller steps or chunks, and solve them individually, one by one.
Tasks like:
a) Create a server, to listen for connections from clients
b) think of a data-passing scheme - how will each message's writer and recipient be identified.
c) Connect to the server by a client.

When you break the task up into smaller problems, it becomes very much easier to find an article or tutorial that deals with that particular aspect of the project.

It's often handy to visualize various parts of the program as 'black-boxes' - concentrating only on what their input and output will be. Doing this during design allows you to build a conceptual picture of your project and identify requirements that these components have.

Best luck. :)
