My company is looking for a product that will allow us to communicate via sockets between a Windows application and a UNIX application! We are hoping that this communication will be **TCP/IP** based since we may also need to communicate with Tandem computers running TCP/IP. Any ideas? Commercial products will be most welcome! E-mail will be appreciated! ThanX --Emuleomo O.O. (emuleomo@yes.rutgers.edu) -- Remember! It doesn't matter if you win or lose, as long as you win!

[ Sorry about the other posting. It went off before I could add anything to it. RF] There are 3 developement environments I know of for TCP/IP on DOS. FTP Software's PC/TCP Development kit. (Woburn, MA) Wollongong's IPTCP Developer's kit. (Mountain View, CA) Distinct's TCP/IP for Windows. (San Jose, CA) Only Distinct advertises actively as a Win3 product. I have used the two others and neither are Win3 specific. FTP's will allow you to create one session at a time (the driver does not maintain state under windows). They say they are working on a DLL. Wollongong's development is currently in Beta but they say full Win3 support is another release away. Cheers, Ramin Firoozye' rp&A Inc. San Francisco, CA.

I though this might be of general interest... NetManage, Inc. has a TCP/IP protocol stack for Windows 3.0 called NEWT. Their lib gives you functions like bind(), gethostbyname(), htonl(), htons(), recv(), recvfrom(), send(), sendto() and socket() I bought NEWT last year, and am very pleased with both the product and with Netmanage's support of it.
