- GCP++ Press Release, 3 Dec 92
-
- GENISYS Comm, Inc. announces version 2.0 of the GCP++ Development
- Pack. GCP++ is a Windows Sockets Application that provides UDP,
- TCP, TELNET and TFTP programming access to TCP/IP networks.
- Windows developers using GCP++ get their TCP/IP-aware applications
- on-line quickly without spending months programming and testing
- socket library code. GCP++ may be distributed royalty-free with
- client applications.
-
- Utilizing any Windows Sockets Supplier's stack, the GCP++ server supports
- multiple client applications, allocating resources fairly and hiding
- the complexities of the Windows Sockets API from the developer. A
- WindowsNT version is under development.
-
- GCP++ creates opportunities for developers to write complex,
- cooperative network applications without dealing with the
- complexities of socket library and remote procedure call
- conventions. PC to UNIX and PC to PC communications are
- supported, providing integrators and developers with a suite of
- tools to control remote processes and move data over TCP/IP
- networks.
-
- The low-overhead GCP++ allocates resources dynamically, conserving
- workstation resources, so the user sees no degradation in system
- response when communications are idle. Once servers are created,
- they process in the background, minimizing their impact on
- interactive applications, then delete themselves when finished.
- GCP++ allocates networking resources fairly, enforcing RgoodS
- Windows programming practices.
-
- The GCP++ API library is used to initiate communication service
- with minimal programming effort. The client application specifies
- the type of communication server required (UDP, TCP, TELNET or
- TFTP . The UDP, TCP, and Telnet servers provide buffered
- communications with the specified remote host. The TFTP server
- moves files to/from any other TFTP-capable host. An additional
- server (called GCP) supports session-level services with a peer
- GCP++, providing window-to-window communication, file transfer,
- and real-time voice between multimedia PCs. All aspects of
- connection set-up, required polling, asynchronous callbacks, data
- transfer, error handling, and tear-down are handled transparently.
- A callback message to the user's window informs the application
- that a requested action has completed.
-
- The GCP++ Development Pack includes the GCP++ server, API library,
- documentation, and a client application written using Borland C++
- (source code included). The GCP++ Integrator's Toolkit is also
- offered, which also includes server source code for creating
- customized server functionality. Available separately, PhoneNet++
- is a client application to GCP++, providing voice-over-ethernet
- between Windows multimedia PCs.
-
- Contract programming/consulting is also offered to support unique
- customer requirements. Future releases are underway to support
- Windows NT and UNIX versions of GCP++.
