    I have a feeling you're going to need to be a little more descriptive of this.

    Well all i want to know is how people piece together programs into one. Is there a certain way to do this?

    The way I do that is taking the relivant code from one program, pasingit into the new program and have the other code that needs the new code call the new functions.

    I suspect you'll need to link them all together. When all three programs were written, did you all not establish a plan for this?

    Our class was put into different groups. i was put into the work flow for linking it together... I have no idea how the other programs run. I know it sounds crazy. I am in a crazy class...
    Yes i need to link them together. What do you mean by relavent code. Getting something to call all the functions?

    Well the first thing (before you start programming) is to define some interfaces between the various components.

    For example, how does the line of text typed in from the user go from the GUI, via the comms program and out over the network.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
