next time i will remember to write the subject

and actually i only know about graphical interface..

and as far as documentation is concerned ... i read it approximately
3-4 hrs daily but..
it is really hard to grasp things out of it.



let me show u a code.




(define (serve port-no state)
  (define listener (tcp-listen 1985 5 true "10.4.233.9"))
  (define (loop)
    (accept-and-handle listener state)
    (loop))
  (define t (thread loop))
  (lambda ()
    t
    (kill-thread t)
    (tcp-close listener)))

(define (accept-and-handle listener state)
  (define-values (in out) (tcp-accept listener))
  (thread
   (lambda ()
     (handle in out state)
     (close-input-port in)
     (close-output-port out))))


(define (handle in out state)
  (begin (display state out)
         (flush-output out)))

;;;;;here state is any string i would like to send .



i am trying to read the output from other computer using the tcp-connect.
but it is not showing output until i run the listner console again.


for tcp-connect
my code is :

 (define-values (sin sout) (tcp-connect "10.4.233.9" 1985))

and i write (read sin )
 in console .
