In response to my query about TCP/IP based communication b/w Windows applications and UNIX, I got the following responses ============================================================ From donnel@helix.nih.gov Tue Feb 5 13:44:35 1991 Organization: National Institutes of Health, Bethesda Cc: Status: RO Check out WNQVTNET.ZIP at cica.cica.indiana.edu. Its in the /pub/pc/win3/util directory. Although this is a beta release it works for me. Best regards, Don Lehn ============================================================ From @nova.unix.portal.com:rpA-Inc@cup.portal.com Wed Feb 6 23:08:01 1991 I have been using the FTP Software's PC/TCP development kit for a while now. It is NOT specifically designed to work with Win3, but will allow you to initiate a single window and do socket level networking with TCP/IP hosts. The full suite includes telnet and ftp which can run out of a DOS window on top of Win3. They say they are coming up with a Win3 verison soon. They're in Waburn, MA. Wollongong also has a TCP/IP development environment but it isn't quite intended for Windows either. I haven't used it much but it comes with a set of undocumented DLL's. Don't know what they do though. Wollongong is in Mountain View, CA. Distinct (in San Jose, CA I believe) just released a full TCP/IP for Win3. It looks pretty nice. Has socket interface as well as rpc support. They have used the development package to build and sell a terminal emulator and a network backup program. As far as I know these are the only ones doing this sort of thing. Personally, I prefer to use the FTP Software. The one program at a time limitation is not a problem currently (until they come up with the upgrade). Wollongong's is still in beta. Distinct, I haven't used so I can't vouch for it. Hope this helps. Cheers, Ramin Firoozye' rp&A Inc.

We offer a comprehensive development environment NEWT-SDK. The stack provides standard 4.3BSD and NDIS interfaces supporting both Ethernet and Token Ring (FDDI and SLIP are currently in beta-test). To the best of my knowledge, this is the only DLL TCP/IP.
