Hello -

I am having trouble running the hserv.C/hclient.C demo on NT.

Here's what I do:
1) I open up three windows (using tcsh, actually, not DOS),
go to my c:\root\tutorials directory, and start root in all three.
2) I do '.x hserv.C' in the first window, which waits.
3) I do '.x hclient.C' in the second window, which also waits.
4) as soon as i do '.x hclient.C' in the third window, the canvas
pops up and i get the expected messages in the server window (send and
recv buffer sizes) and (e.g.)
"localhost/127.0.0.1 (port 2020)
localhost/127.0.0.1 (port 2021)"

but then on the second window, i immediately get a message:
"hclient: Read Time = 3.05 seconds..." and it bails out. the
third window (step 3) just sits there.

Am I doing something wrong (e.g. maybe port 9090 is the wrong one to use?)
or could this be a bug somewhere?

thanks,
Peter
