K, this may just be a rant, but taking some code from Linux and porting it to windows sucks! So I'm using pthreads in Linux, and I find a pthread header and dll for windows. I'll probably just use their thread library instead to make it cleaner. But i also use SIGALRM to get a 1 sec interrupt, in windows it's SetTimer–WM_TIMER - CreateWaitableTimer and what not. Then I have to find how to setup the tcp/ip configs. Ok that's about it but they should have their C/C++ code just like unix. Cause unix code seems to look cleaner.

Ok, I'm done for now....Until I start to code again for windows.
