network?

[Jesper Kempe]

Hi
I�m planing to try to make a small networkgame in ADA. Can anyone help
me with for example source code, packages for networking and so on.

Multi-User Dungeon (or whatever) games are a good way to learn Ada,
especially multi-tasking.  Conversely, Ada is a good language for this sort
of game, precisely because of its multi-tasking facilities.

I would be happy to give a little input to your project, and I feel others
would be willing to make small contributions.  It would useful if you were
to give a bit more detail (what machine, what compiler, what kind of game,
etc.)

I disagree. I think a (tcp/ip) network server would be easier to
implement. It would require multitasking, etc. And it would be useful.

As I see it the most useful servers written in Ada would be a name
server, a smtp server and a web server. There is already one web server
written.
