This concludes the first tutorial on using ACE. We've learned how to create a simple server without knowing very much about network programming.

The code used in this tutorial is for illustration purposes. That means it may or may not work. I have created a working example which is more or less the same as the code in the tutorial. The primary difference is that the working code doesn't do all that mucking around with FILE pointers and status messages.

You can download all of the source or individual files:

• Environment Settings
• Makefile
• main program
• acceptor object
• connection handler

(The source is a gzip'ed tar file which can be unpacked using winzip or the Unix command tar -xvzf filename.)
