Has anybody ever written a Microsoft program for the IBM/PS2 that
uses TCP/IP sockets over the token ring?

I have to develop a program that, using TCP/IP sockets, will communicate
with a server on a VAX-8750 running ULTR*X..  I would like to write
the program using Microsoft Windows, because that would make the
program easier to use (since it will be used by non-programmers).  Has
anybody ever attempted writing such a program?  Should calls to the
TCP/IP routines be made, thus bypassing Windows completely?

Also, what TCP/IP libraries are generally used?  We have the standard
libraries provided by IBM, but we are having a lot of trouble using
them.  Therefore, we are considering buying a copy of FTP's TCP/IP
development libraries (at least they will be documented.  When all else
fails, read the documentation :) )  Is anybody currently using them?
How are they?

Ari.

Please respond using E-Mail.  I'll summarize to the net.
