This Apiary custom control (VBX) allows a Visual BasicÖ developer to write distributed, client/server applications. The control abstracts the networking layer of a workstation and allows applications to communicate on top of IPX/SPX. A separate WindowsÖ dynamic-link library (DLL) is also included and is demand-loaded based on a workstation's networking configuration. The IPX Toolkit includes the VBX and WindowsÖ DLL interface for 'C' and Pascal.
