- Yes it is, all you have to do is to suppress a line in you system.ini
- in the [386enh] section. The line is DEVICE=..../W32S.386
-
- The next step is to purge the win32s directory in the windows/system/
-
- That is all you have to do.

-
- As long as two processes communicate with the same protocols
- --TCP or UDP--then the platform they run on (e.g. UNIX, Win32s,
- WindowsNT or 16-bit Windows) and the API they use to access the
- protocols (WinSock or otherwise) is immaterial.
-
- On the other hand, if your question is about portability of
- network source code--specifically WinSock<->BSD Socket--then you
- better stick to the BSD-compatible subset of WinSock functions.
-
- By the way, you could implement the RPC protocol with WinSock,
- but it's not available by default. RPC is a little higher level
- than WinSock provides (RPC runs *over* the UDP or TCP transport
- protocols, not alongside them). There is an RPC4WIN specifica-
- tion for ONC RPC available (still in draft form), and we have
- an implementation available, as does Distinct. Both of these
- RPC4WIN DLLs run over a WinSock DLL.

-
- Do not assume this is possible. WinSock does not prescribe
- local interprocess communication, and for good reason. It's
- not a good way to do it; that's what DDE and OLE are for.
- WinSock does not support the BSD Sockets "UNIX" domain (which
- is specifically designed for local IPC).
-
- Local IPC might work on some WinSocks, but it's guaranteed to
- fail on others. Even on those it works, it might not work all
- the time. You'd be better off detecting when you're connecting
- to the localhost, and using DDE instead.
