I´m doing a multiplayer game, and because of the nature of the game (it''s a card game, turn-based, and anyone can chat at anytime), I need two streams for each socket the player opens, one for the game operations, and another for free chat. I could create two sockets for each player, but it''s cumbersome (I think) and reduces the server capacity in a half. Is there a way to create two streams from a single socket? :D Thnx for your replies Mac for productivity Linux for development Palm for mobility Windows... for the Solitaire
