Name Resolution

2004-04-29 Thread Craig Bennett
Hi All, does anyone currently do name resolution from within UV? I have a need to determine the dns name corresponding to an IP address under UV 10.0 on AIX, Linux and NT. I would prefer not execute an external utility and cannot use GCI. My current thoughts are to create a sockets client to

Dawn, how blue sky are we talking? I am hugely impressed with wxWidgets (http://www.wxwidgets.org) a C++ GUI framework for developing applications on Windows, X, Mac, OS/2. I also think the world is crying out for a cross platform application browesr (same idea as a web browser, but for running

You can't really have a zero client footprint. I'd rephrase Dawn's statement to say that perhaps you are using client software that the average person would ALREADY have installed such as a browser, a jpg viewer, a mp3 player, etc. As long as its the RIGHT browser, an appropriate version,

Perhaps you need to look at XAML/Avalon, which will be part of Windows Longhorn by the time it BYTES, the various opensource CLT projects should be up away, and you may have your path. But Ross, that gives me no more advantages than using IE6 in the context of Dawn's question (although I

Ray, The CTYPE category only has ALPHABETIC, NUMERIC and TRIMMABLE (and, by inference, other) classes. I would hazard the guess that characters in the two Control Sets (Control Set 0 and Control Set 1) are those considered not printable. The BASIC manual refers to PRINTABLE and NON_PRINTABLE

Now, as to whether IBM could get the code and put it in... the answer is most likely NO. IBM and Ascential are separate organizations, and our code streams are separate and effectively protected. Ah, I thought you were suggesting this was work done at Ardent/Informix but never released. thanks
