Hi Richard,
sorry for this slow update;
So I have amended BB4W SOCKLIB library with a few simple things, mostly UDP client/server additions, as well as a few things concerning TCP -- taking care however to keep it fully backwards compatible with the stock version (and to use look-alike naming for added functions  .
Basically, additions are:
REM FN_tcplistenM(host$,port$,backlog) Create a TCP/IP listening socket (with backlog, i.e. allows multiple connections requests)
REM FN_checkconnectionM(socket) Check for a connection request and actually connects client (and leave listening socket open for more connections)
REM FN_udpsocketS(host$,port$) Create a UDP/IP service socket (explicit bind, server application)
REM FN_udpsocketC(host$,port$) Create a UDP/IP service socket (implicit bind, client application)
REM FN_readsocketfrom(skt,buf,len,sockaddrbuf,sockaddrbuflen) Read max 'len' bytes to addr 'buf' from 'skt', and get peer's details
REM FN_writesocketto(skt,buf,len,sockaddrbuf,sockaddrbuflen) Write max 'len' bytes at addr 'buf' to 'skt', specifying peer
I am not sure if you want me to send you the source code, or how to submit this new version. Let me know.
Ah, by the way, is there a better (shorter) way to get the base address of a structure than actually getting the address of its very first member?

Please do. As I mentioned before, SOCKLIB is one of the oldest libraries and contains 'obsolete' code so will need some attention before a new version could be released. I also want to keep the BBCSDL version of SOCKLIB 'in phase' with the BB4W version, so that implies the addition of compatible UDP functions to the former.

If I'm understanding the question, is there some reason why you're not simply using struct{} ?

Hello Richard.
no, there is no (admittable) reason why I haven't used struct{}
I'll email you the amended SOCKLIB.BBC library in a few minutes.
Cheers,
Phil.
