Hi Henk
Im busy learning about PG's and Servers myself. I write these using Turbo
Pascal for a few reasons:
1.) These programs need to be very small and quick.
2.) Its a very simple yet powerfull little DOS language.
Writing PG's and servers can be a lot of fun. They are tricky in that they
cant expect to get user input in any of the conventional ways, and they run
strangely too. Ive had quite a bit of luck going the Turbo Pascal route.
My current project is a PG and server to randomly sellect Lotto numbers and
then record them. It then compares the numbers in the database with the
winning number at the end of the week. Works well....
Let me know what you're working on, and how its going...
73's
