I mean, tell us what's so great about it.
It seems to be TCP only which will be a major turnoff for developers of realtime games.

its not spam. and I didnt want to type it all here, so I just linked it so you can see for yourself. In a nutshell its a tcpip server app that manages all connections, and is scriptable in that you can use your own custom protocol structure with it, suiting it to fit whatever you want to develop. The docs are at that link and their is a free demo.
Im just trying to get people interested.

How else is he supposed to advertise then? Blimp? This is the correct forum isn't it for Multiplayer or did someone change the sign on the door.
Anyway, EZ_Serv is IMHO a powerful and cost effective alternative to large scale server management products. I've seen EZ_Serv being used on a network world terrain chat demo where there were like 14 people logged onto the system. This is a small example of what can be acheived with this software. But remember that EZ_serv is designed as a configurable server for almost any large scale client management system.
Why do they put nails into coffin lids..... do they know something we dont!!

However I do consider a post with an independent experience and opinion of the library (such as your own) to be placed in the right forum.

add a UDP mode and it may be usfull for things other than chat/gui programs.
understand that real-time apps such as games rely on data redundancy, which TCP does not allow because it blocks on packet loss.

to be fair, not all genre of games require UDP. turn based games and MMORPG's come to mind.

An MMORPG using TCP would have to open a socket per client that connected to the server. Having hundreds, or even thousands, of sockets staying open is a pretty bad idea in almost any production system, not to mention much less efficient than a single UDP socket with a hash table on source UDP address to identify the client.

True. Its an ongoing development project - thanks for the input :)

When General Patton died after World War 2 he went to the gates of Heaven to talk to St. Peter. The first thing he asked is if there were any Marines in heaven. St. Peter told him no, Marines are too rowdy for heaven. He then asked why Patton wanted to know. Patton told him he was sick of the Marines overshadowing the Army because they did more with less and were all hard-core sons of bitches. St. Peter reassured him there were no Marines so Patton went into Heaven. As he was checking out his new home he rounded a corner and saw someone in Marine Dress Blues. He ran back to St. Peter and yelled "You lied to me! There are Marines in heaven!" St. Peter said "Who him? That's just God. He wishes he were a Marine."
