Bump ?

It's impossible..I think it is not difficult to be realized..U can use winsock to be the main functional component and create a chat server which can handle multi connections from the client which send/recieve chat content...If u have some difficult about it,I can help u..Hope it as..:-)

This is an excellent application for anybody who wants to learn how to manage multiple winsock connections. The code is well-commented. A good way to see how it works is to 1) Compile the application. 2) Run three instances of it, and on one of them, click Host. 3) Use the other two instances as if two people are chatting with each other.

remember - anything is traceable if the tracer is good enough. Anything you do will leave an electronic signal - so unless you encrypt the transfer, then a tekkie would most likely just be able to watch the "pre-pass" packets off of a NIC card to view whatever your passing.
