The MMSocket library is our in-house extension to the Berkeley Sockets model. It combines the Berkeley sockets with a command/response mechanism. Using the MMSocket template, we can create shared data or dual-port memory between any two Win32 systems, ETS or Windows, within a matter of minutes. The implementation doesn’t care what type of TCP/IP connection is made; the user can use any TCP/IP virtual link, Ethernet or dialup PPP. Note that the MMSockets.lib library is GUI-independent. It will link with both ETS and Microsoft windows applications, including Active-X controls and NT Services (which don’t contain a GUI). The MMSockets.lib can link with either ETS or MS Windows applications.
