Laurie Ann Kurdzi #1 / 5	NT workstationN Nt or T or server NT I realized that I am in the VB newsgroup, not NT. So I will modify my question. Under NT, we are wondering if we should use Visual Basic or Visual C++. We will be developing a user interface and want the callback code to be able to use queues and have packeting abilities. Also a TCP interface to a VAX workstation. Can this be done in VBasic or is VC++ a better candiddate? Thanks for any help, Laurie Kurdziel Lockheed Martin

You might want to look at Delphi 2.0, otherwise you'll have to use VC++ exclusively or VB with some other tool to write the callbacks in. There's also a VB-like environent by Power Basic that can compile callbacks and DLL's. -- WARNING: I cannot be held responsible for the above They're coming to because my cats have apparently learned to type. take me away, ha ha!

Laurie Ann Kurdzi #3 / 5	NT workstationN Nt or T or server NT I am setting up a pc to be connected to a VAX workstation. Only 1 developer will be working on the pc. I want to be able to ftp and telnet to the pc from the VAX workstation(s). For this type of and environment, which NT product is recommended? Also, does anyone have a recommendation as to what type of pc, desktop or server? Also, does anyone have a phone number to order NT software? Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated! Thanks, Laurie Kurdziel Lockheed Martin

NT Workstation supports FTP and Telnet, although you may want to check out some shareware sites to get better FTP facilities (NT's built in one is a command-line FTP) As far as hardware, not knowing what you are trying to do on the client side hurts, but I'd recommend the following MINIMUMS when using Windows NT (Desktop PC should do the job): 24-32MB Ram Pentium 90 2MB VRAM Video Card Note, for NT v4.0, you'll want to up the RAM a little bit, its got a bit larger footprint. Also, make SURE you have at least a 16-bit SCSI and or Ethernet card. NT4 no longer supports 8-bit cards. Quote: > Also, does anyone have a phone number to order NT software? You can pick up NT Workstation at any computer store for about $100 as an upgrade from Windows 3.1/95. Or, try calling 1-800-COMPUSA (Sorry, thats the only number I got offhand...MS's web site should have their direct order line http://www.microsoft.com) Note, problems have been encountered upgrading Win95 to WindowsNT due to registry incompatibilities, so you may need to reinstall all software.

Not exactly a minor problem. That would be several days of work at least on my system. Joe Never underestimate the power of a WAG. http://www.citilink.com/~jgarrick
