Overview Level 1 VBXs
PowerTCP enables the rapid construction of TCP/IP applications from proven software components. Using high-level PowerTCP VBXs, developers can quickly construct custom networking applications without writing protocol and socket library code-the details are taken care of by Dart's experienced software development staff.

PowerTCP controls provide tested networking code that uses the Windows Sockets interface, so your product will run on any platform with Windows Sockets support (Windows 3.x, Windows NT, Windows 95, and third-party TCP/IP kernels). And, since PowerTCP is tested and used in thousands of applications world-wide, you can be assured your application will seamlessly integrate with the Internet or any private intranet.

With numerous VB template applications included, results happen fast!		 PowerTCP is delivered as 16-bit level 1 VBX controls for Visual Basic 3.0. Level 3 properties are also included to support embedded null characters. Other PowerTCP Toolkits include ActiveX support.
