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 || 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 !
