I had to modify the following line:

     _beginthread(clientThread, NULL, 0x2000, NULL);

to

     _beginthread(clientThread, 0x2000, NULL);

to get this to compile.  Then it bombed with the following lines:

Pipe connected
cache size = 73600
message size = 184
Client : Read 0002125c/0 (This is test msg 1 from the server) 184
Client : Read 00021314/1 (This is test msg 2 from the server) 184
.
. many many repetitious lines deleted.
.
Client : Read 0002fe1c/328 (This is test msg 329 from the server) 184
Client : Read 0002fed4/329 (This is test msg 330 from the server) 184

Client: error 234 reading from pipe 
rc=234, cb=184, br=116, ad.cbpipe=648, ad.cbmessage=68, state=3

Does this show your error?  I am afraid I haven't been following this
thread too closely.
