    Question Winsock Server Time?

    Pretty much what the title says. How can I get the local time of the Winsock server the user is connected to? I'm making a chat program and I want to be able to display a message to the user like "You have connected to the chat server. The local server time is 12:15PM on Sunday, October 25, 1983". Is this possible? Thanks.

    That would be a function of the chat server. When the connection is established, it will have to format its date/time in the text string that you suggested and send the tring back to the client.

    as has been said there is no set method like with some langauges, you have to invent one, and send the time via string to the client
