I'm starting to look into using djgpp as a base for some (personal)
medical utilities and would be grateful for anyone thoughts on the
following areas:
1. TCP/IP connectivity is highly desirable. Has anyone ported /
written a TCP/IP library for djgpp? As far as I can see from the
likes of ka9q and wattcp the only difficult bit would be getting a
real mode packet driver to call a protected mode packet handling
function (effectively interrupt driven comms).
2. I confess to being a big fan of Turbovision by Borland. Ages ago
there were a few discrete enquiries about the legality of porting
it to djgpp. Did anyone ever port this or any other reasonable
text mode library e.g. Dflat (freeware)?
3. Tying 1 and 2 together, can you forsee any major difficulties with
using djgpp as a base for a WWW (or similar memory hungry) client?
If not, is anyone else interested in getting tcp/ip apps working with
djgpp?
Regards,
Iain Reid
