Sorry for the confusion:

The program that I would compile using djgpp is a program that's developed
on HP (HP-UX).  It's a communication package that implements a specific
protocol.  Now there are some programs developed for NT (probably using VB
or VC++) that should be able to use that communication channel.  I've been
asked to examine the possibilities to port my original communication
program to NT, hence the question about usability.  I am mostly interested
in availability of
bind()
gethostbyname()
socket()
select()
