Hi Remy,
I am using Indy 9 and would like to know how something similar can be
achieved in this version. Basically, what I would like to do is to have
the server broadcast a message out to the clients when data is available for
them.
I was thinking of having the clients poll the server with a simple CMD
instead.
But, would prefer if the server could broadcast when updated data is
available.
I am still new to Indy, and so appologize if this is a stupid question.
best regards
