     4 The latest version of this library is available from:

     5 http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_net/

     6 

     7 This is an example portable network library for use with SDL.

     8 It is available under the GNU Library General Public License.

     9 The API can be found in the file SDL_net.h

    10 This library supports UNIX, Windows, MacOS Classic, MacOS X,

    11 BeOS and QNX.

    13 The demo program is a chat client and server.

    14 The chat client requires the sample GUI library available at:

    15 http://www.libsdl.org/projects/GUIlib/

    16 The chat client connects to the server via TCP, registering itself.

    17 The server sends back a list of connected clients, and keeps the

    18 client updated with the status of other clients.

    19 Every line of text from a client is sent via UDP to every other client.

    21 Note that this isn't necessarily how you would want to write a chat

    22 program, but it demonstrates how to use the basic features of the 

    23 network library.

    25 Enjoy!
