hi, i am a beginner in ruby and  
i’ve made to tiny scripts but it doesn’t seem to work if you have any  
idea  
thanks :  
server :  
require ‘gserver’

class BasicServer \< GServer  
def serve(io)  
loop do  
line = “”  
line = io.gets  
puts line  
io.puts("Hello world! "+line )  
end  
end  
end

server = BasicServer.new(1234)  
server.start  
server.join

Client :  
require “socket”  
print(“Connexion…”)  
clientsock = TCPsocket.open(“localhost”, 1234)  
print(" terminée\n")  
clientsock.write(“toto”)  
puts(clientsock.gets)  
clientsock.close

regards  
Bussiere
