Floyd) Newsgroups: comp.windows.ms.programmer Subject: Re: PC/NFS, Socket Libraries, TCP/IP (FAQ?) Message-ID: <675518012.54@sunbrk.FidoNet> Date: 28 May 91 18:25:12 GMT Sender: Usenet@sunbrk.FidoNet.Org Lines: 20 Several people have posted notes to me regarding my original note to this group. In short, most network services are "real mode" applications and many people run Win 3.0 in "protected mode". Thus, by and large the cohabitation of NFS, WinQVT Net and other TCP/IP services is a technical matter. My question now stands as; When will the various NFS vendors, et al, release TCP/IP applications for use in "protected mode" (vs real mode)? Are any already available? Is there a technical limitation or difficulty in doing so? barry -- +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Barry B.
