digitalmars.D.learn - Simple Socket Server Code

All,

Does anyone know where I can get a simple example of writing a server in 
D?  Just a stupid little echo server would be fine.  I'm trying to write 
one myself, but for some reason it doesn't seem to be accepting any 
connections.  I figure it's something stupidly simple, but I'm just not 
seeing it.

Perhaps a related question is: is there anything weird about creating a 
server on windows?  I'm currently using D on a windows laptop, so 
perhaps this is a platform issue?  I find it unlikely, but you never know.

Thanks.

Check the "samples" dir inside the dmd instalation folder.
Theres a sample there named "listener.d" that shows how to use D sockets.
If you're using DMD2, the listener.d file is broken. You'll have to convert it
into D2 yourself.

I actually did look at that and it is more than I was looking for.  I 
just wanted something akin to "Listen -> Accept -> Process -> Respond -> 
Repeat."

Regardless, it turns out that my understanding was better than I 
thought.  I just had a stupid little bug that I didn't notice was an 
actual compilation error at first.  Guess that's what I get when I try 
to write code when tired...

Anyway, thanks!
