Hi (I've already been subscribed my address as you told me to do.) I would like to now why there isn't an implementation of TCP(UDP) Sockets ? I think it's possible to write a good platform-independent architecture based on Berkeley socket interface (supporting asynchronous (non-blocking) sockets), because both Linux and Windows systems support that architecture. There are many libraries like that: e.g. Boost.Thread library which is also platform-independent. In my opinion, this feature is very usefull as with it programmers can develop network applications on Boost. Thanks Best Regards Hambik
