For a description of the ICC-protocol:

ftp ftp.chessclub.com
cd pub/icc/formats

There you find the following 3 files:

formats.txt    - describes the ICC protocol
parse-buffer.c - a little demo parser
parse-level2.c - a little demo parser (probably for level2 of the ICC protocol
:)

As for M$VC++ and sockets, I don't know, but others surely will. (since it seems
you're using C++, you maybe want to capsulate the use of Windows-specific stuff,
so you can easily port it to another platform, if that's a potential wish for
you in the future)

Hope this helps
