Well, yes, it does, but there is a real dearth of code examples from
which to crib. This makes "learning by the book" a lot harder.   It is
also difficult when the various third party things, like, say WIN/3b
tcp/ip don't contain any TLI examples, nor do they document a TLI
interface.

Has anyone got some sample TLI programs they'd like to share with the
rest of us?
