I'd like to write a program that runs at the same time as an on-line
program. It should be able to read the messages that are sent to the on-line
program. By on-line program I mean one that receives input from a web
connection. I suppose I'd have to discover what port was being used, by
trial and error, but I have no idea how to go about the job. Any ideas?
