what's the simplest way to send strings of text over the network, and have a console program recieve them at the other end? I'd like to do this with wasting as little time as possible, and I don't care about performance or bandwidth utilization. just simple to code and works. TIA

Here ya go!

Note that you will need to made 2 modifications to each project.

1 - Change #include <iostream.h> to #include <iostream>
2 - Add using namespace std;

Thank you! Rating++!
