Hi all
 
New to the list and LibcURL.
 
I am investigating the use of the library with FreeBasic for Dos.
Reading the site information, I simply cant get an overall picture of what
is required to do that.
When I emailed to the person on the Dos bindings page (Doug Kaufman) the
reply indicated that he is not involved with
and does not use the library.
 
I use Win95 Dos together with CwsDPMI on a Compact Flash Card to boot
my machines. (Industrial Weighing Machines)
The Freebasic libraries are supplemented with Allegro & CGUI.
 
The aim is to include a Network for reporting to Windows computers.
I have done this previously in 16bit Dos, but need to do this without
jumping back & forth to real mode (Hopefully with LibcURL)
 
The assumptions I have made of what would be needed is as follows.
 
1.Compile the Library with DJGPP
2.Create or convert a header file for FreeBasic.
3.Link the library to my code.
4.Call the routines from my code.
5.Find a packet driver (32 bit) ? NE2000 ?
 
Sounds simple enough, but ....
Does anybody on the group have experience with porting the Library to Dos.?
 
 
Regards from downunder.
