Overview Techincal Approach
PowerTCP enables the rapid construction of TCP/IP applications from proven software components. Using high-level PowerTCP OCXs, 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.		 PowerTCP components come with these advanced features:
  • Optimized asynchronous, non-blocking, event-driven operation implemented with properties and events
  • Buffering and flow control using event notification
  • High-level interface design
  • Dynamic memory allocation, sparing critical system resources
