JSB Virtual Socket Library for DOS Virtual Device Driver for DOS Virtual machines (=emulators) (c) leecher@dose.0wnz.at 2020 =============================================================================== What is it? =============================================================================== JSB software back in the days wrote a socket library that enabled DOS applications to use TCP sockets: "The Virtual Socket Library is a single socket style API which provides transport and platform independent (TPI) development. By writting to the single VSL API, the developer is provided with complete connectivity over TCP/IP (all legacy and winsock stacks), DECnet, and IPX/SPX; this is offered on multiple platforms including Windows, Windows NT, DOS." There are some DOS applications out there in the field (for instance Pervasive SQL server/BTRIEVE for DOS) which make use of this socket library. This can be seen by the use of the JSBDOSWS.EXE executable which loads the TSR. If you are searching for a way to integrate BTRIEVE in DOSEMU, I suggest that you use my https://github.com/leecher1337/btrieve-vdd project instead. But nevertheless, this library may become handy for some legacy applications that depend on this library. This is a virtual device driver to connect the library service functions to any of the following DOS Virtual machines: * NTVDM (Not needed, you get the driver from JSB anyway) * DOSEMU If you want ports for different emulators and see a need for is, feel free to do so yourself or contact me. =============================================================================== File structure =============================================================================== Common modules JSBDOSWS.H - Header file for the Dispatch-function module JSBDOSWS.C - The main dispatch-function module Platform dependent implementation of common modules (select ONE!) VSLFUNC_WIN32.C - Windows implementation of platform functions VSLFUNC_WIN32.H VSLFUNC_LINUX.H - Linux implementation of platform functions Emulator specific modules (entry points for emulator, select ONE!) MOD_NTVDM.C - VDD for NTVDM MOD_DOSEMU.C - VDD for DOSEMU DEV/ DOS device drivers required for specific emulator DOSEMU JSBDOSWS.EXE - Patched JSBDOSWS.EXE for use with DOSEMU NTVDM Just use JSBDOSWS.EXE shipped with your product CONFIG/ Configuration files for DOSEMU plugin =============================================================================== Compiling =============================================================================== DOSEMU: ------- In Dosemu, this works as a plugin: * Create directory src/plugin/jsbdosws and copy the contents of this directory to it * ./default-configure * make * Copy DEV/dosemu/jsbdosws.exe to your Dosemu DOS directory ~/.dosemu/drives/c/ or whereever you have it to execute All other emulators: -------------------- In your makefile: * Add JSBDOSWS.C * Depending on platform (WIN32, LINUX, ...), add platform dependent BTRFNC_*.c file, if exists * If on Windows, ensure that WIN32 define is set, so that correct .h gets loaded by JSBDOSWS.C * Depending on used DOS virtual machine, add the appropriate MOD_*.* =============================================================================== Limitations =============================================================================== I must admit that I haven't tested it so far. Hopefully, it works? =============================================================================== Updates =============================================================================== https://github.com/leecher1337/jsbdosws =============================================================================== Author =============================================================================== mail: leecher@dose.0wnz.at https://github.com/leecher1337/ =============================================================================== License =============================================================================== This Application and Sourcecode may be distributed freely.
