I am trying to port a Linux program to DOS using DJGPP. This program
uses pipe() to spawn another program in a new daemon which listens on
the tcp/ip socket for commands from the main program.(using the local
ip address of the PC)

The pipe() function of GCC/DJGPP tells the main program that the
daemon has been started OK. But when the main program tries to send a
command via the socket inferface it fails.

I guess this is caused since both programs are not running at the same
time when run with DOS.

Is there a way to get this to run with DJGPP somehow?

Georg
