Hello to the DJ-Family !



The project I'm involved deals with mobile database-retrievals and therefore 
requires a DOS machine (as small possible) communicating with a UNIX work-
station via TCP(-Berkeley)-Sockets.
I was pleased

 required    ||                    <std.h>                   
socket-calls ||  present | outcommented | not mentioned at all
-------------++----------+--------------+-----------------------
  socket()   ||    X     |              |
  bind()     ||          |      X       |
  listen()   ||    X     |              |
  accept()   ||          |              |           X            
-------------++----------+--------------+-----------------------
  connect()  ||          |              |           X  
  close()    ||    X     |              |


I also filtered ALL (installed) files to search for the above key-words.
With little success.
The keyword "socket" for example is contained in lots of docu-files, but
never (?) used in the desired context. No documentation related to my
special problem could be found.


/*************************************************************************/

Q.:   Is it possible to get access to the network via TCP - sockets, 
      and if, how ?
      Which packages are required and where is the documentation located ?

/*************************************************************************/



P.S. Both compilers are well-up !
