Q:
Hello Peter,
Listen i've been working on C language for the last 1 year. i was
specifically working on normally database applications.

Now i m thinking of working on building network applications on C
Language.Now the trouble is I have downloaded a tutorial stating C network
programming but the problem is i m unable to find the "C Lanugage Network
Library". and without that i m restricted to just study but to implement.
So my question to u is this is there any how i can find the "C Network
Library" on the net from where i can downlaod the headers and start
learning C netwrok Programming.
Note: i m using Turbo C 3 but the on the windows platform.
A guy on the chat told me that i have to shift myself from windows to unix
environment.
so do i have to shift the environment.

thanx

ill wait for ur reply.

A:
You need not but you can shift to Linux.

If you use Windows 3.1 then you have to download Trumpet Winsock solution
because Windows 3.1 does not have TCP/IP networking in its basic.

Later windows do have any you have to use the ws2_32.lib and ws2_32.dll
libraries to access windows specific socket functions (which are mostly
like UNIX functions).

Regards,
Peter
