(waiting for a program to calculate the variation in epitope clusters, so working on this for a moment)

  (= mudpipe (tcp-connect "avendar.com" 9999))

  (def readmud ()
     (let ch nil
       (thread (= ch (readc:car mudpipe)))
       (while (no ch)
       ; wait patiently
       )
     (pr ch)
     (readmud)))

  (= mudreader (new-thread readmud))

(first time I work with threads) readmud only reads one character at a time, and I want it to just keep on writing as long as there is data. I'll try to add a thread that calls readmud again the moment it returns something sensible.

Partial success. The reading bit seems to function fine (if slow ;), and I now can use arc while in the background the muds' output is being read, but still cannot write. Did add mzscheme's flush-out (but perhaps in some wrong way. Will look at it during the next work-break ;).

Err. If you're just waiting patiently.... why not just readc directly?

  (def readmud ()
    (pr:readc:car mudpipe)
    (readmud))
