I'm confused by your message - where are you going to be using DJGPP? It
seems like you will be using VC or VB on the PC. Anyhow, I do not know of
any libraries for DJGPP that provide IPC between machines. (libsocket
simulates Unix domain sockets _between libsocket programs_ on a PC.)

You could use DCE RPC between the Unix box and the PC. They should both
have DCE RPC support.

Bye,
