Thread: Windows network programming from a console program

I am looking for the simplest code that does a client and server side socket connection in visual studio with c that does NOT use the windows.h call.

I am trying to write something in console and windows based visual studio c. ANY USEFUL suggestions?

I know there is no socket.h in visual studio and I'd rather not use windows.h

Thanks,

ME

Code:

// simp_calendar.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
// Written Visual Studio 2005 C.
// Starting days are ONE day later from the previous year unless a leap year then they are TWO.


#include <stdio.h>
// January 1st, 2023 was a SUNDAY.
// January 1st, 1598 was a SUNDAY.
// 1600 was a leap year.




int global_year_printing=1598;
int global_month_printing=0;
int day_start_count=1; // Starting count day 1-7 of the week start should NEVER be more than 7.


// prints the title days of the week
int print_titles_of_week()	{
	printf("\n\tSun\tMon\tTue\tWed\tThu\tFri\tSat\n");
return 0;
}


// prints the days of each month
int print_days_of_month(int month)	{
	int end_day=0;
	if (month==1 || month==3 || month==5 || month==7 || month==8 || month==10 || month==12) {
