Does anyone have comments on writing simple network apps with the various PC network systems. What I want to do is pass simple messages among a group of four or five pcs. I've written similar code using Berkeley sockets on Unix systems, and it would be nice to have a somewhat simpler api. A not too humungous device driver would also be nice.

Sorry I don't have all the info on it. I am writing a game application for NetBios and are using some of the routines that are in the book. It seems to work real well on a 3Com 3+Share and a LanManager network. I haven't tried it on a Novell system yet, but I believe there is a NetBios type of program for it too. Banyan also. The game is so I can learn programming in NetBIOS for other applications. Carl Schelin tcs@mailer.jhuapl.edu
