Re: SEIV Gold Demo does *not* have TCP/IP

Actually, UDP is *worse* for transfer of anything larger than the size of a single packet (generally <1KB).

Substantially worse, actually. If SEIV Gold is using UDP for the actual turn transfers (which I didn't test), it would probably get rather a lot faster with TCP/IP. *Especially* over dialup.

The only advantages to UDP are that individual packets get there faster (at the cost of losing many of them) and it's easier to program.
