The TCP protocol will transparently split the data into the packets of needed size without user intervention, so the sending site is probably already ok. But on the receiving side (at least with lNet) you will get a separate event for each received packet and have to combine them again, so you need to implement something on top of lNet to buffer and combine the received chunks of data and only process it when one of your protocol messages is complete. You need a robust way to determine how long your protocol message is, at which byte exactly it ends and the next message begins. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
