I think you have already worked out the problem it is going to take you a lot of power to work out what has changed in the mapped file.

The best approach but the hardest would be to intercept the Writefile calls from the Model application since you don't have the code. The process is called IAT patching and you hook the model application write calls and simply send the data for each write call to your client before letting it drop thru to write to the mapfile as normal. There are a couple of IAT patching articles right here on Code Project. It obviously has the massive advantage that effectively it slows the model program down if your update dispatch is slowed and there is no searching to be done you are transmitting the changes as they are made. The downside is this is not something a novice can code it requires a level of experience.

The second alternative is to make an application that simply cycles around comparing the mapfile comparing the mapfile to a local copy of the last scan thru the file and transmitting changes as it encounters them. So you have a local copy of the mapfile as you last visited this position as you then find a change you hold the position in the file and then keep reading while you have differences. All you do then is send a simple structure File position, size of change, change data to the client. Then you continue back to looking for a changes. All the client does is grab a packet, move to the position given and copies the changed data. So the client copy just changes slowly to mirror the server mapfile at whatever rate the packets can be sent. This is how remote terminal services work sending your screen to another user.

The downside of the second alternative is you will often get your fields having part of current data and part old data. For you that is not to bad because you know the structure layout so you can probably carry field flags to indicate if they are currently half changed because you in the process of writing them.

Anyhow whichever technique you use this will not be a trivial task Smile | :)
