1) I had the same problem when I created an extended winsock dll and an FTP
dll. Since dll's can't accept messages I had to pass the handle of the GUI's
window down into the dlls and the when the GUI receives a winsock message it
simply calls the dll's handler with the message's parameters. But you are
using a service so I guess this fix does'nt apply to you.

                        - BUT -

2) Win32 (NT and Chicago) use peemptive multitasking so using regular select
will block only your service, not anything else. The asynchselect is still
nice under win32 in that it provides for event driven coding but it sounds
to me like you can't use it.

I've got a problem with win32 and winsock.  What I want is one thread
that listens to one of two input sources, either a socket or (in my
case) a Sybase connection.  My problem is that I've set the Sybase
connection to signal me with a win32 event when it is done, but I have
a problem with telling when the socket is ready to read.

I could use WSAAsyncSelect, but I'm going to be running this as a
service, and it's not clear to me (and others, apparently) under what
circumstances a service can create a window (as requred for
WSAAsyncSelect).  If I could create a window, I cound use
MsgWaitForMultipleObjects() to do what I want.  Since I'll be a
service, I'd rather not use a window anyway.

What I really want is something similar to WSAAsyncSelect that uses a
win32 event to signal when it is ready.

Any suggestions?  Has anyone else faced this problem?  What solution
did you use?

TIA.

Eric.

As a member of the Microsoft Developer Network level 2 I got a copy fo the
Daytona Beta. Let me assure you that I really like it, they are supporting
internetworking very seriously with this package. Anyway, I set up RAS and I
can RAS in from a remote WFW machine just fine. But I can't SLIP in at all.
I'm quite sure I set up the SLIP server correctly. I could find NO
DOCUMENTATION AT ALL anywhere on the two CD's that covers the SLIP script
expected.

Does anyone (J. Allard?) know details about the sequence of commands that
the Daytona RAS requires for SLIP connection?

Don't try this under Borland, their OWL steps all over the WM_USER + message
numbers, instead you must RegisterWindowsMessage at run time. This sad fact
had me seeing red when I discovered it. This is just one more reason why I
finally dumped Borland C++ for MS VC++.

        Yes...I was stupid.  I forgot about the WM_USER id's.  Though I
don't think the winsock spec mentioned this.

        Thanks to all those who replied.

Subject: NNTP Protocol

I am interested in trying my hand at winsock programming.  I want
to start with a newsreader program.  I am looking for any references
or sources (standards, ftp sites, etc.) for the NNTP protocol or
anything related to newsreaders.  Please reply directly to my email

Thanks,
