    Non blocking listen() with winsock

    I'm reading this book on socket programming and it said that using a non blocking listen() function was too complicated for the book. I'm trying to write a program that does other things while it is waiting for a user to connect and i figured the only way to do this is with a non blocking listen(). right?

    Blocking and select() are covered here or get the full pdf version.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
