Hello. I'm preparing to write several applications, both Windows and DOS, that will be communicating with each other over a network (probably start with Novell and look at other nets later). Right now I'm mainly trying to select the tools I need and I'm having a bit of difficulty. Is there a particular C++ compiler I should use rather than another for what I'm looking at doing? I assume it would be better (more economical) to get one that allows one to create executibles for more than one platform (Symantec, Borland), but are there other constraints? Does the compiler I use have to be able to call routines I'll have to buy from Novell (an SDK), i.e., requiring the Microsoft C++ compiler? Will I have to then get both a Windows and a DOS compiler from MS? Obviously, any help would be very greatly appreciated. Also, I've done this sort of thing before in a higher level language and an add on package for the network stuff (NetLib). Then, I used broadcast packets to send the information back and forth. Is there a better way to do this sort of thing? Thanks for your time! Feel free to respond to this here or by email. I read everything! ===================================================================== Marshall Cummings Voice: (810) 231-6330 CMS Technologies Fax: (810) 231-6325 317 S.
