It is as I suspected using the TCP/IP socket communications, but I guess this is the way I have to go. I can probably set it to only operate on the localhost interface so there is no need to get packets out onto the LAN, which may or may not be available. And I can use Indy10 sockets rather than the now since long deprecated TTcpClient and TTcpServer components. I guess I will save myself a lot of time doing this... -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
