Sample Source Code

  The sample source code is no longer included in the faq.  To get it,
  please download it from one of the unix-socket-faq www pages:

       http://www.ibrado.com/sock-faq
       http://kipper.york.ac.uk/~vic/sock-faq
  http://www.ntua.gr/sock-faq

  If you don't have web access, you can ftp it with ftpmail by following
  the following instructions.  Please do not use the ftp server if you
  have access to the web, since computain.com is connected only by a
  28.8 modem, and you'd be amazed how much traffic this faq generates.

  To get the sample source by mail, send mail to ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com,
  with no subject line and a body like this:

         reply <put your email address here>
         connect ftp.computain.com
         binary
         uuencode
         get pub/sockets/examples.tar.gz
         quit

  Save the reply as examples.uu, and type:

         % uudecode examples.uu
         % gunzip examples.tar.gz
         % tar xf examples.tar

  This will create a directory called socket-faq-examples which contains
  the sample code from this faq, plus a sample client and server for
  both tcp and udp.

  Note that this package requires the gnu unzip program to be installed
  on your system.  It is very common, but if you don't have it you can
  get the source for it from:

       ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/gzip-1.2.4.tar

  If you don't have ftp access, you can obtain it in a way similar to
  obtaining the sample source.  I'll leave the exact changes to the body
  of the message as an excersise for the reader.
