As long as there is no device like the /dev/zero from unix on windows and no other alternative build in (or at least I don’t any), I decided (also out of some boredom) to write a tiny C program providing such functionality.

It was only a change of a few lines. I had to put unix headers in a #ifndef _W32 block and add the WSAStartup() function.
I made the port with Dev-C++ 5, but it should be not to difficult to compile it with MinGW …

Hi once again!
While doing some homework for my TechGI4 course (http://www.tkn.tu-berlin.de/) during the last semester, I got carried away and expanded my work to a little chat server.

Have fun!
