    1. Do not wake threads that are old.
    2. There is (or at least should be) no member of this forum that will "send you" complete working projects.

    jain123, I have moved your posts out from that other thread into this new one.

    This sounds like some kind of homework/project question, so read about the homework policy.

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

    What have you done so far to solve this? There are several open source chat programs available on the web - any particular reasons you do not want to use any of those?

    And what code have you looked at so far? It's no point in anyone sending you a link to some code that you've already looked at, right?

    So, again, what code have you been looking at. If I find something on the net, in my searches (because I certainly don't have anything sitting on my machine that I could share), then I want to know what you have looked at.

    By the way, the difference between fork and starting a thread is fairly minimal as long as the code doesn't use global variables too much.

    You never specified a language, so I dont know if C# would be a problem. That being said it is incredibly easy to write something like this in C# with a few hours on the internet, or with one google search there are a couple free ones, a few that even guide you through the process in a tutorial.

    Google Search Keyword: c++ multiuser chat program

    Of course this looks like its only a server that can be telnetted to. You would have to integrate in a client. Although I think you'd be hard pressed to find for free exactly what you want in its entirety.

    typical homework kiddo. Apalling English, refusal to put in any effort of their own, never posted before (and all posts in the one thread).

    Go fail your course, kiddo, you deserve no better and it would prevent one more lazy bugger from polluting the profession.
