- Text Server 1.0: a simple Windows Sockets server

- Overview
- --------
- Text Server (TS) is a simple Windows Sockets server that
- illustrates the "other" side of client/server computing,
- winsock style. TS accepts client connections and interprets
- queries as file specifiers. TS then opens the requested
- file, and sends it back to the client. Outbound buffer
- traffic shows up in the client window. This server speaks
- the finger protocol, and will respond to any finger client.
- (e.g., the Windows Sockets 3.x Finger clients)
-
- Contents
- ---------
- makefile Builds the distribution.
- txtsrv.c The source, Luke.
- txtsrv.* The usual Windows complement of .def, .dlg,
- .h, .ico and .rc files.
- default.txt Lewis Carroll's "The Hunting of the Snark."
- TS replies with this file when given a null query.
- (Snark mode)
- Requirements
- ------------
- * Since Text Server dynamically links to the winsock DLL
- and builds with the winsock.h, .def, and .lib files,
- you'll need a TCP/IP implementation that provides a
- Windows Sockets interface.
-
- * The 1.0 distribution was built with the Microsoft C/C++
- 7.0 SDK.
-
- * You need a finger client to query the server.
-
- Comments
- --------
- When using WS M/Finger 3.1, specify the file spec in the
- "user id" field. In UNIX:
-
- finger 'c:\autoexec.bat'@waldo
-
- retrieves the autoexec.bat file from Windows 3.x host waldo.
