SIMPOL Documentation

There are a few different ways of accessing a server program. Most modern systems will use either TCP/IP, UDP/IP, a communications port (COM1, USB001, OLE2, DDE, etc.), the file drop method (monitor a directory and when a file appears in the directory read and process it), or they may use some other intermediary such as an ini file. Currently SIMPOL can be used to implement such systems using TCP/IP, file drop, or ini files (SIMPOL supports OLE2, but only as a client program).
