In 3L-C, can the to86/from86 routines be used without having afserver running?

Secondly, is there a version of afserver that can run under Windows 3.1?

Thanx!

Think about what you are asking! How can the host possibly respond to transputer requests unless there a server running or at least a TSR.

All transputer-code using pc-resources requires activites from the pc and 
therefore a running afserver. The library call to the to86/from86 routine
will send a message via the link to the pc-link-interface. Software on the
pc have to read this message, decode it, and perform some action.
Maybe there is an a equivalent tsr-program available, but I never heared 
about something like this. But in this case you'll need a Link-Interface 
which supports interrupts to activate the tsr-routine (e.g B008 compatible).

I've heard about some product from a german vendor, by don't know the name.
If you are interested, I'll search it and mail you the address.

Hope this helps,

Karsten
