-	== Definition ==	+
-	Network.DLL is a [[DLL]] for internet/network communication between two [[Fenix]]	+
-	programs or a Fenix program and a different program. It handles quite a few	+
-	things on its own, so the user can focus on different things in his program.	+
-		+
-	== Features ==	+
-	* One command setup, another one for listening for connections (server) or one for opening a connection (client).	+
-	* Connection status monitor, informs Fenix of the status of the connections.	+
-	* Sending and receiving of variables of all [[datatypes]], [[graphic]]s, files, whatever you want.	+
-	* Download/upload meter, for measuring of speeds and totals.	+
-	* Automatic message separation (separation string specifiable).	+
-	* Dynamic messagebuffer provides limitless sending and receiving.	+
-		+
-	== How to use ==	+
-	To be able to use it, you must include the Network.DLL functionality:	+
-	<pre>include "Network.fh";</pre>	+
-	First you initialize Network.DLL:	+
-	<pre>NET_Init(0,10,1);</pre>	+
-	From this point you can do whatever you like, for example connect to google on port 3435:	+
-	<pre>NetID=NET_Open("www.google.com",3435);</pre>	+
-	And send a message:	+
-	<pre>NET_Message(NetID,"Hello!");</pre>	+
-	Or listen for connections on port 4555:	+
-	<pre>NET_Listen(4555);</pre>	+
-		+
-	Receiving and handling messages is also easy:	+
-	<pre>	+
-	Loop	+
-	switch(NET.Incoming[NetID])	+
-	case NET_STATUS_DISCONNECTED:	+
-	// code when the connection is disconnected	+
-	say("# Disconnected!);	+
-	end	+
-	case NET_STATUS_INACTIVE:	+
-	// code when the connection is idle	+
-	end	+
-	case NET_STATUS_ACTIVE:	+
-	// code when there are >0 new messages on the connection	+
-	while( len(message=NET_Recv(NetID))>0 )	+
-	// handle the message	+
-	say("< " + message);	+
-	end	+
-	end	+
-	case NET_STATUS_ESTABLISHED:	+
-	// code when the connection is just established	+
-	say("# Connected!);	+
-	end	+
-	end	+
-	frame;	+
-	End	+
-	</pre>	+
-		+
-	== Future ==	+
-	It probably will have UDP support as well, though at the moment only TCP is used.	+
-		+
-	== Download ==	+
-	Here's the complete package containing a simple testprogram with commented source, the DLL, the sourcecode and full documentation:	+
