Hi there.

If you are new to zoidcom library and you want to write your first application working over the net, but after reading manual (part I and II) you still don’t know how to do it, this is the right place for you.

I assume that you know how to install zoidcom to your compiler but if you don’t... The easiest way to do it, is to use Dev-C++, option: Tools→ checks for new packages→select dev-pack server→find zoidcom, check it, download and vois-la!

I also assume that if you know how to install zoidcom, you know how to install allegro library. I’ll be using it for easier window and graphic management.

To make everything work, you have to link your compiler with two options -lzoidcom_mw and -lalleg.

Write some simple doing-nothing application to check that your libraries are proper installed.

So, let’s get down to business. We are going to write a chat application that can be used for two people.
