Simple Chat Application

The software provided on this page is without warranty and provided "as is" for personal use. The user should use caution and run this software at their own risk. Resale or commerical use of these products is not permitted. The software on this page were written as practice and is provided here only as sample programs for those who may find them useful. While I will accept comments, bug reports and suggestions the software is considered legacy and is not under any on going development or support. I would rather not hear any complaints about the software as well being that first they are free and second they were never commerical products.

There are many very small assembly written demos which are actually smaller than the .ZIP file. They were not put into .ZIP to save space but rather to prevent anyone from directly downloading an exectuable file.

Description:

This is my first sockets program. It is a Win32 Console application. It has a server, which one person starts up, then everyone connects to him. You just type to chat, hit enter to send. Hit ~ to disconnect. Very Very simple program. There is no limit on the number of people who can connect. And the bandwidth should be really low, it just sends text. I haven't tried more than 5 or so people, so I don't know how the program works with a lot of people. It is a consol application and the screen isn't very big, so large number of people would not be too great as the chat would scroll too fast. The source code is also available on this site.
