Congratulations !

It was a good idea to have a look inside this mail !


I'm using the conjunction of DJGPP and TCPLIB to realize access to a
UNIX server from a DOS machine.
In future we will port the program to a palmtop (as soon as the hardware
arrives) to allow for mobile retrieval, which is supported by the interface
I still am working on. It's part of my diploma thesis at TH-Darmstadt.

The problem arising with those small (8086 compatible) machines, is that
we can no longer use the DOS extender (go32) due to the obvious hardware
constraints.

Does anyone know a different (non-commercial) library supplying us
with networking routines, that could be used with a compiler supporting
16-bit object code like the one from Borland ?
