Anyone Here Proficient In Pascal or C?

[Walrus]

Hello there, you may remember me from other pleas for help as "Help, Where Are My Pants?!" and "What's On Tv Ape Man?"

Ok, seriously.
I need help with some TCP/IP code.
If I were to write a web browser in Pascal or C, how would I get it to use Tcp/Ip to connect to the internet?
I know Pascal, but not to the exctent it would require to write TCP/IP code.
I'm clueless.

Help!

Keep on Codin'!

(If it matters, I use ThinkPascal 4.5a1)

No... but I could connect you to a MySQL database using PHP...

But now I'm curious... are you actually writing a web browser, or are you just wanting to know how to write TCP/IP code?

I only have experience in C++, which is quite similar to C, but I'm still learning.

What is Tcp/Ip coding exactly? I've never known what that was.

Maybe you should try using Assembly Language. That is extremely fast and will gaurentee the most efficient running program.

Dougie knows.

A web browser is next on my list of projects.
First, I'll have to finish my ThinkBasic project, which takes Pascal source code, and translates into Basic. I might put that on hold, though.

Web browser? We got microsoft man.. microsoft good *shudders*

The closest that I could help you with is some GUI info in Java programming, which isn't exactly what you are looking for.

As for the web browser you are creating, what's it going to look like when it's finished? Similar to windows IE explorer? or is it going to look totally different?

I'd imagine the best thing to do would be to find a library that has TCP/IP to use?

[Gold Jinjo]

Sub's probably right... go find a book that thoroughly explains what it is you want to learn. The internet doesn't always have the best tutorials. In fact, most are crap.

If you can't find a library that has what you're looking for, try Amazon.com if you're willing to spend some money ;)

lol Gold Jinjo. A library is not a bad idea, but i actually meant a programming library, like people who already had made C++ libraries that you could use.

Like with the protocols built in.

Like in C++ you use a library (I think that's the right word) for strings, it's like <#include string.h>. So you'd find one with tcp-ip protocols and go from there.

I think its #include<file.lib> for libraries
.h is header files


I'll try to find one
Thanks

Err... yes, of course. I knew that ;)
