- There is a standalone package available for MS Windows 3.1, from the
- company that wrote the origional NetDDE code used in Windows For Workgroups.
- Cost is something like $250 per node, I think. Contact Wonderware Software
- Development Corporation, Irvine, California (714)727-3200.
-
- Supports NetBIOS networks. There is a toolkit called NetDDE for VMS
- which is a software developers toolkit for writing applications under
- VMS connecting to the NetDDE running on a PC.
-
- I've set up some systems running this packages, but don't know exactly
- how all the internals work. I'm also running the WFW beta and have piddled
- with that NetDDE interface.
