CONNECTING PB7 TO A TCP/IP SERVER ON UNIX USING SOCKETS PROGRAMMING

[Sybase]

Hi LIST,

I want to write a component in PB7 that connects to a TCP/IP socket on
a UNIX Server. In that TCP/IP Socket, a TCP/IP server is started on UNIX
machine and accepts input or sends (back) output to the clients (PB apps).

The input and output is raw data (just formatted string according to the
conventions of our application.

I would like you to help me in providing any guidelines, of what component
to use or sample code to achieve this. I am interested in connecting,
sending and
receiving data from this socket (listening on a UNIX TCP/IP Server) from a
Windows application (PB client).

Thank you in advance for your quick response.

Alex.
