- Yes. I have use two -- both from Greenleaf -- to write programs under
- OWL 2.02.
-
- The first is Greenleaf Comm++ 2.0. This library has a very EXCELLENT
- oop design. I can't seem to sing enough praises for it's design.
- However, the version I used seems to be a little buggy. The other
- version is Greenleaf CommLib 5.1. This library is around for sometime
- and is quite solid. However, it is in C. There good thing about both
- this library is that the same code is portable between DOS and Windows.
-
- I haven't used this but I should think that TurboPower Tools has some
- good comms library too.
