A couple of months ago or so there was a posting to net.sources.games of a network poker game. When I compiled it and tried to run it on a Sun, the server kept barfing on the bind syscall because there was no assignment to the sin_addr field of the socket's address structure (the program uses sockets in the Internet protocol family). I faked it for a while with an INADDR_ANY, but finally got around to doing a real fix. I added dynamic lookup of the local port address and host Internet address. I also made a change to erase characters when backspace or delete is typed. If anyone experienced the same problems as I did and would like the fixes, send me mail. If there's enough interest, I will post. The poker game itself is great, sometimes at lunch we can get a poker game going on the net. Hats off to ritcv!jjv3345 (sorry, I lost the news header and don't know the author(s) real name(s)) for a great contribution. Bitchin' Camaro! Jonathan Hue Bitchin' Camaro!
