Re: Socket related question...

[Sanjiv Hati <hattys@xxxxxxxxx>]

I convert each bytes of the replied string into EBCDIC
and when I view the converted buffer it appears to me
as incomplete (because, in Win NT, I can view the
complete string using another client socket program).
But the read() returns an integer value, which is in
fact number of bytes received i.e. 536 (whereas the
actual bytes sent by the Win NT server is 2K btyes).
This is very strange to me.

Thanks
Sanjiv
