Can anyone tell me how I can create a Socket
in D?
I have tried the following:
---------------------------
extern(Windows)
{
 SOCKET socket (int af, int type,  int protocol );
 }
-----------------------
From that
I get the following error:
 identifier 'SOCKET' is not defined

then later on I planned to do this:
----------------------------
Socket sock;
 if(sock.Create(port,SOCK_STREAM,NULL)){
  printf( "csock is created!" );
  }
------------------------

Are there ways to create a Socket in D yet?

Please dont say "use COM". Im on a big enough learning curve as it is.

You would need to alias int SOCKET; as well. There are already some winsock.d files floating around with all this done, including my site.

One of these days I want to sit down and work out a multiplexed io spec for D but the language needs things like standard containers first.

Ok, thanks I will take a look!
