Just a thought... I'm not sure how much experience you have with sockets in
general, but if you want a high level view, languages such as Python make
that quicker on Windows and Linux. I wrote a simple Python script to
process print output from MVS under Hercules and I remember it being fairly
painless. I also played in Rexx, but somehow I felt sockets were an awkward
fit. Perhaps I should have tried harder.

And if you want to work at a lower level, I'd have thought that gcc under
Linux is a more natural way, with more working examples to view online.

Assembly under Windows involves a lot of extra work, and to my mind isn't
worth it, compared with using assembly under MVS/ESA, which was a thing of
beauty where almost everything behaved as expected from reading the manuals.
