Similarities

For some reason, this task resembles half (only the server part) of another task, Distributed program; I believe that with few changes every server code given there could be "imported" here. Therefore basically this task seems an almost-duplicate. So it seems to me. --ShinTakezou 17:48, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

I think they are different -- this task emphasizes byte-stream network programming and multitasking, that task emphasizes high-level communication and message passing. I had planned to create a task something like this myself, and I also created Distributed Program. --Kevin Reid 19:14, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
