Setting up a TCP/IP socket
To set up a TCP/IP socket, first open the settings for the Proc Dialog part, then fill in the following fields on the Destination Information page of the notebook:
Host name
The symbolic name of the host where the remote function you want to access resides. If you prefer, you can specify the numeric IP address of the host instead of a symbolic name.
Port number
The port number used by the server program you want to connect to.
On the Data Attributes page:
Code page
The character code page used by the remote system. The default code page is the current code page for the system.
Buffer length
The size of the memory buffer VA Smalltalk should allocate for the data sent to and received from the server. For a proc dialog, the buffer size must be at least as large as the total size of the record used by the remote program logic.
The default value for this field is 1024.
Big endian
A check box that determines the byte order for integers sent to the partner. If checked, the partner uses a BigEndian format; otherwise, the partner uses LittleEndian format.
