TCP is reliable.  UDP is unreliable.
Aside from sending data that can be safely dropped, such as sound 
packets, there is no reason for aplication programs to use UDP.

Remember?

I'll stick with DDE interfaces for now; they aren't elegant, but they 
work well enough to support an ecosystem of ~20 interoperating 
applications.

If a serious effort to define a common protocol for interoperation 
arises, I will certainly participate.

 I go between MultiPSK and DM780.  What is the best/easiest way to
  create a combined/common log?

Multipsk seemlessly logs to DX Keeper .  DM780 easily exports to DX 
Keeper.

BTW - I have a fine NTPClient class in C++ in case anyone is interested, I 
use this when calibrating soundcards and also to keep my computer clock 
updated every 15 minutes.

You would have to modify it yourself as it uses a few DM780 calls but the 
intelligence you need is in place.

 Also I would say that UDP is easy in all languages, DDE is a tad complex 
 in
 C++.

to try it to be honest.

 Dave, over five years ago now, I pushed for using a standard DDE interface
 for all PSK31 programs so anybody could use his favorite logging probgram
 with his favorite PSK31 program, and developers did not have to keep
 reinventing the wheel. It also found little interest. :-(

 I'd still like to see that happen. The need never goes away!
