[zeromq-dev] Ingesting external data via TCP with 0MQ

[Ryan Richins]

Brain,

Thanks.

I read that and then saw the following in the FAQ , but seems I was  
too close to the trees to see the forest.

How can I integrate ØMQ sockets with normal sockets? Or with a GUI  
event loop?

Appreciate getting set on the right course.
