Winsock RCP/RSH/REXEC is client software. It contains the rcp, rsh, and rexec commands. These allow you to rcp, rsh, and rexec from your system to another system. It contains executable (.exe) files, not DLL files. Winsock RSHD/NT is server software. It allows you to rsh and rcp into the system where it is running from another system. It services the rsh and rcp commands; it does not include them. These are two entirely different software packages, so be sure to choose what you need. Some people want RSHD/NT (or RSHD/95) but see “RCP/RSH/REXEC” on the price list and think they are going to get lots more for less if they order that. But they provide two different functions.
