Execucom is building an MS Windows 3.0 software product
which supports TCP/IP using the socket library model.
Frankly, we were hoping that Sun would have already
delivered the supporting network software ... In any case,
we need to get on with this aspect of the project and are
looking for commercial software supporting TCP/IP via
sockets under Windows 3 (including 386 enhanced mode).
I am doubtful about using the public domain software so
frequently discussed here. This route would seem to require
a good deal more technical expertise than a commercial
package. A commercial package would also seem to reduce
legal difficulties when reselling the software. Is this too
conservative?
"Network Windows (TM) Software Development Kit" from
Distinct Corporation in Saratoga, CA claims to meet my
requirements. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who
has experience with this product and/or company. Pointers
to alternate products would be gratefully accepted.
If there appears to be any interest, I post any alternate
vendors and product reviews.
Thanks in advance.
Chris
