Hello Wes,
In addition to the advice of Francois is what I often do if designing a
protocol that is both ascii data (for commands) and binary data packets,
is to preceide the packet with a length in hexadecimal form (byte, word
or dword). Wy ? Because if most of the data is ascii command then it

OK. I understand what you're saying, which for me is a definite step
up. That being said, when would I actually act on the data that I have
received from the socket? If I have LineMode off, that means I have to
either 1) look for a terminator or 2) accept many bytes and then act
on the informa

I am experimenting with writing a program that does not rely on LineMode
to send and receive data. The following procedure is attached to a
server component:
TriggerWriteDebug is my own event, which at this time only outputs text
to a TMemo.
