Tsocketdispatcher

Question: In the Help File is the following: Add a TSocketDispatcher object to a form or data module to create an application server that implements an IDispatch interface using TCP/IP. There is no TSocketDispatcher Component on the pallet. So how do you create it?. Answer: You don't really need to do this. ScktSrvr.EXE is in the \delphi30\bin directory. Running it on your AppServer will allow sockets to connect to your application. If you want to use it anyway, look at the ScktSrvr.EXE file found in \delphi30\source\vcl directory. It has the code that instantiates a TSocketDispatcher. The help file currently contains this note: ? Application servers do not need to explicitly add a TSocketDispatcher so that they can connect to TMIDASConnection components in client applications. Delphi ships with an executable called ScktSrvr.exe. Run ScktSrvr on the server machine. If the application server does not want to use the default port number (211), pass the port number the application server should use for listening for client connections as a command line argument. If ScktSrvr.exe is running on the server machine, it will automatically launch the application server after it accepts client requests. ?
