Is this done in a thread ? Since you're using indy, I suppose so.
The crt unit is not thread safe. The implementation on Windows and
Linux is
totally different, which may explain the difference you see.
Is there a way to check user keyboard input in the main program while
action is being done in the server's threads?
Sure, do a fpselect() on file descriptor 0.
You can use the unit Keyboard as well, which is cross-platform.
cross platform doesn't mean thread safe, which is the primary reason for
*not* using crt unit. I have no idea if keyboard is thread safe or not,
and I've not seen anything in this discussion to answer that question
either.
Is there sample code of server code so testing can be performed outside
the discussion parameters? I have looked for years for client/server
information for freepascal, and never found anything, then this
discussion shows some code for running a server, where did that
information come from? I'm apparently really bad on searching for said
information.
