Hi,

if you need a really simple example you should take a look at the
tutorial I send, because it's the simplest I found on the web.

I send you a link to My network class wich I used in My app.
But be aware, it's just the send/rec/connect part. My messenger
application was a bit more complex as the online tutorial, because I
implemented a small protocol stack (based on XML) wich I wrote myself
and the network class also don't contains the multiplexing function for
multiple connections at a time.
Also you should know, that the code is only the server part. The client
part is basicly the same, exepct that the client use the Gtkmm I/O
functions to "listen" for incoming messages.
And lastly you should know, it was my first real project with Unix
sockets. :-))

If you need further help, feel free to contact Me.
You can download My network code here:

http://www.berndibub.de/network.cpp

As I said, it contains NOT My protocol stack and the multiplexing
function. Only connect, send and receive. Also the code is a bit dirty
perhaps. :D

Hope it helps.

Bernd
