Hi,

I am working as an teaching assistant for a computer networking class
and have been assigned to write the server side of a small networking
application meant as an assignment for the students. The application is
meant to fulfill the following objectives :

1. Function as the server side of the application.
2. When the students are developing the client side , it should guide
them as a diagnostic tool. e.g. if they send a message and the format
is not correct , it should let them know this and indicate the correct
format.

It is a console based application where output is text. There are
multiple threads running within the application. Are there any
suggestions as to how the output messages / diagnostics messages be
displayed inorder that the different threads throwing out information
can be seperated ? The idea is to give the students the relevant
information without confusing them too much. Any suggestions would be
ful.

thanks in advance,
vivekian
