TCP stream?

[Bob Altman]

Is there a stream class that handles TCP/IP or UDP/IP, or a Socket class to
serve the same purpose, hiding somewhere in the unmanaged C++ standard
library?

Not in the standard library, no (the C++ standard doesn't admit to the
existence of "exotic" things like sockets).

MFC, I believe, has classes that encapsulate TCP/UDP socket work. You might
also look at other librtaries like ACE:

MFC shold have CArchive support (as far as I remember from my
black-and-white memories).

You can, however, roll your own network stream classes in an
STL-friendly way, if this is your intent. There was an STL-compatible
network stream library, search in google groups.
