This may be totally off the wall, let alone off topic. But if Arachne can use the same NIC and the same 060 whatever address as NetScape can use, it should be possible to use the same connection/address/etc between two different DOS programs. And if you go into Arachne first, then no multi-tasking would be necessary ... because of the fact that shelling out of Arachne keeps everything the way it should be, but totally shuts it down and free up memory.
Instructions that come with WinSock are quite simple: give it the correct/existing vector and it will use it. IIRC NetTamer is pretty darn configurable. However, since Unca Dave has no intention of ever setting up NetT so that it can run via NIC under any circumstances, I can't do any experimenting of running back & forth between NetT and 'rach. l.d. ==== On Sat, 05 Jan 2002 18:51:33 -0600, Glenn Gilbreath Jr. wrote: > Hmm, > I have never tried any multi-tasking in DOS, but know of some work that > was being done on a project called TriDOS.
