: is there sockets support in djgpp?

	DJGPP doesn't come with socket support. You need a separate
library. If you'd like to program in C, you could try the library I
maintain - see:

	http://libsocket.home.ml.org/

If you prefer C++, try Dan Hedlund's WSOCK library - I can't remember the
URL, but a DejaNews search will find it. Also, the FAQ mentions lots of
libraries, so it might be worth looking in that.

: Can you do rpc (cannot find rpcgen)?

	I don't think there are any RPC libraries for DJGPP. One way of
getting RPC would be to port the Linux code, but this is obviously a
difficult and time consuming task. I don't know if it's possible.

	Hope this helps.
