The time has come. We've been doing Windows development here for some time.
We've been doing TCP/IP networking for a while. Now the twain must meet:
We need a TCP/IP library for use in a Windows application.
Does such an animal exist? Must I convert NCSA Telnet or KA9Q for use with
Windows? Can I not stand on someone else's shoulders?
Please reply by E-Mail. I will summarize E-Mail to the net.

We have had good experience using Excelan's LanWorkplace SDG. It
supports BSD style sockets (4.1 I think) We have used it for
2 different terminal emulators running under MS-Windows
and a electronic mail front end to Unix sendmail again using MS-Windows
and DFS a PC-NFS clone implemented as a DOS TSR (a severe test of the library)
We know of 4 bugs in the lib. We suspect at least one more.
binary patches for the lib are avaliable for the bugs we know of.
It works, unlike several other implementations we tested and found wanting.
