You could try if they run with WinEm: http://www.sylpher.com/dosuser/dosutils.htm But if there are DOS alternatives available (like for converting *.html to plain text) you'll most possibly be better off with them. > Lacking this, does anyone know of documentation that outlines what > Interrupts to call so as to access the MS-DOS 6.22 TCP/IP from Turbo > Pascal 7.0 for DOS, MS-COBOL 4.5 for DOS, or QuickBASIC 4.5 for DOS?

It's normally not done via DOS interrupts. Although you'll find some interrupts regarding to TCP/IP inside Ralf Brown's interrupt list: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/ralf/pub/WWW/files.html these are mostly 'third party' (like Novell Netware, FTP Software). There are also interrupts for other networking protocols/layers, like 0x5C for NetBIOS. The communication with the TCP/IP stack of the MS Networking Client is usually done by Sockets. There was a special TCP-SDK available by Microsoft which provided the necessary header files, libraries, and some samples and documentation. Last time I saw it on Disk 1 of the MSDN subscription of July 1994. As far as I know it never was freely available. Maybe you try another TCP library like WATTCP: http://www.wattcp.com > Also, if anyone knows of any 16-bit DOS programs that use the MS-DOS > 6.22 TCP/IP, such as email, ftp, web browsers, etc., please pass this > along. There are already some posts on this topic. And it is not easy for me to recommend you some programs, because it's been a while since I last set up a DOS network. Maybe you look here (presented without a particular order): http://www.tennyo.org/martin/software.html http://sshdos.sourceforge.net http://jaapvanlelieveld.xs4all.nl/program.htm http://www.theabsolute.net/sware/#viewhtml http://www.rowan.sensation.net.au/programs.html Some are not - strictly spoken - network tools, but help you view *.html documents (for instance). Just have a look at them. For general reference you might want to check these sites: http://www.dendarii.co.uk/FAQs/dos-apps.html http://alumnus.caltech.edu/~dank/trumpet HTH.
