- You will sooner or later have to get into those man pages and even
- those header files to figure out what's going on. :) I learned how to
- do sockets from a file on the network:
-
- "BSD Sockets: a quick and dirty primer" by Jim Frost.
-
- I found it under the name of "socket-primer.tar.Z".. I don't know
- exactly where it can be found, but I may still have a copy myself
- (nroff or tex).
