socket program to communicate between windows and unix

[borges]

My question was changed by ??? to networking...
So I rewrite it here because here I have a lot of interesting answers.

I have developed a socket program : the client (developed in PERL) is on a unix station and the client (developed in C) is on a windows station.

NOW : Instead of having a PERL Unix server communicating with a C NT client; I have now a PERL Unix server communicating with a PERL NT client.

IT WORKS!!!!

My question : what's the problem the C client? Is it a problem of incompatibility??

Thanks for your help.

Perl and C are full compatible
Check two things:

- Byte default alignment that depend of your compilator

- Byte order : little endian or big endian : But about it I know that it is hardware dependant, and if this works with Perl, it'll work also with any language
