  I am receiving information as a socket client.  If the server is
written in C, is there any easy way for me to interpret the data if it
is sent as a structure?  If so, are there any limitations of the
fields within it (I assume that pointers are outlawed.)?  Has anyone
tried something like this before, or is it better to change the C
server to send characters?  (I'm assuming that if the C server sends a
character, my applet will have no trouble translating it into the same
character.)
