Welcome developers,
Enclosed is the source to Waterloo TCP, a library which provides TCP/UDP/IP
services to your programs. With this library, you can write to TCP/IP
connections as easily as you can write to DOS files.
This project is still relatively young as I only started it in late October
of 1990. But there are several applications which already use the library
and the ease of use is making it a popular choice for many developers.
Take a look at the existing applications and see if this library suits your
particular needs. Also read copyright.h to see if you can live with the
restrictions. If so, I would recommend getting the programmer's
reference guide which is described in the readme file. It will prove
useful and the proceeds go into manuals and development tools for continued
development.
Note that the user applications should include <tcp.h> not <wattcp.h>.
Why not? To separate the tcp kernal and application layers and to keep
your code compatible with future versions of the kernal. Look at examples
in the APPS subdirectory rather than the files in SRC which the kernal
source.
There are about 50 user functions which should probably satisfy most of
your needs. If you make some improvements to the kernal send them back
to me and I'll try to incorporate them.
Use and Enjoy,
Erick Engelke
