Hi everybody, I agree with my colleague - asio is ACE without ‘hurt’ and really the best C++ network libraries. It has been written in modern C++ and has clear interface to BSD sockets. Documentation is foggy a little because of doxygen, but it is not a problem. I have each release of asio almost from the start of development and see significant improvement. Well done Chris, thanks to the contributors as well. I vote yes, asio must be a part of the boost. Valery Salamakha --------------------------------- Yahoo!
