Both sides are written in Microsoft Visual C++. The client side is an industrial-control hard-real time application; it disables interrupts while controlling machine movements, and it uses up to 64 MB of RAM in linear addressing. The server side is a GUI Windows application; it uses MFC. Now I must port the client side to MS-DOS. My documentation says that I must install a "RPC SDK for MS-DOS and Windows 3 from source diskettes, but I can't find such a thing, neither from Microsoft nor from Borland. It seems MS-DOS is no more supported by the major compiler vendors. I would like to know: 1) DJGPP supports RPC over TCP/IP or over NETBIOS pipes? 2) Is it feasible to port the client side of muy application for DJGPP without keeping the server side for Visual C++? Thanks a lot Carlo Milanesi http://digilander.libero.it/carlmila/index.html
