Need Lots of help with my MMORPG netcode!

Okay first of all where can i find a good tutorial about creating windows and printing text and having them interactive? I need to kknow that for the server program. Now to the netcode questions! Okay Our game is an MMORPG and I''ve figured out that i really must use UDP due to TCP''s overhead. That i''ve figured out. I also know that for a lot of the information (player movement etc...) won''t be needing a reliable system because it will be updated again in like a minute or whatever. But how exactly would i make the stuff that''s needed to be reliable (messages, spells etc...) to actully be reliable? I have a book from microsoft and all of their stuff is about like one connection networks with only one socket? how would i use multiple sockets and have it create new sockets when no more are available? I really need a way to use functions to edit features, add new features in, but how really would i do this? any ideas? sorry about all these hard questions. one more. I''m trying to have it set up where our server will have 2 computers networked together and they connect to them, one computer handles messages, coords, etc.. and is the main server while the other compiles logs and makes it so no time warps and stuff like this so that processing power won''t be taken away from the actual server. This will also allow us to update the server program without rebooting it because they will be connected to log computer and this way it makes it easire. any ideas? thanks for your time

I just checked Amazon.com and they say it's out of print.

Give me a couple days and I'll have the CD that was included with it posted at my web-site for download. I believe every chapter has the source with a demo you can run. It'll be in the "Tricks of the Game Programming Newbies" section.

*update* It's there. You can download it all at once with a 20meg zip file or browse it and download just what you want. I'll keep it available unless I get an e-mail stating that I can't.

I don't know if there are any other books like it. I knew it was an old book. I didn't realize that old though.
