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 -- Christopher D.
