[ENet-discuss] Problem partailly solved

[Jay Sprenkle]

I assumed he was trying to do something like this:

    /* Create a reliable packet of size 7 containing "packet\0" */
    ENetPacket <http://enet.bespin.org/struct__ENetPacket.html> *
packet = enet_packet_create
<http://enet.bespin.org/group__Packet.html#gac61b251aebbf9f5e5e313eca51339ea>
("packet",
                                              strlen ("packet") + 1,

ENET_PACKET_FLAG_RELIABLE
<http://enet.bespin.org/enet_8h.html#9d1fc0ce6da0a057f18bd8b9c762003dab20e7088245ab2ddb7f11dcc9433738>);
