Hi Donald: You're preaching to the converted, but the sermon is well worth hearing again from time to time! :>) Actually, I have a client who is using eSignal and wants to put data that he actually subscribes to and pays for into a format that eSignals can't do for him. One of my approaches to this would be to intercept the data first (if I could). This is the foundation for my question. any other ideas? I won't have time to get a copy of eSignal and test it out unti monday, thus my post to this list. Regards. -- Tim Johnson <[tim--johnsons-web--com]> http://www.johnsons-web.com

We all tend to forget that just using the net has consequences.

Interesting. I don't know eSignal. Is this real-time data? JC

I don't know if one stream can be received by two different applications. If both applications (eSignal & REBOL) need the info from the same port at the same time, you might have a problem. -- ---===///||| Donald Dalley |||\\\===--- The World of AmiBroker Support http://webhome.idirect.com/~ddalley UIN/ICQ#: 65203020

I think so... http://www.esignal.com/

I would need to know what (if any) I.P. address and port number that such information would be broadcast on.

I'm just getting into socket programming myself, but I would think if applications were just "listening". There are no doubt thousands of eSignals application "listening" right now. :>) Thanks again Donald! tj
