<Trumpet made several bits of DOS/Win 3.1 tcp/ip and internet support, including a stack, a newsreader, and so forth. So did Wollongong, FTP software, Eudora, and a number of others. Some of them included more functionality, some less. This temporary niche market had been created by MSFT reluctance to pursue this open standard... So, eventually the drivers ended up where they should have been all along. Those small companies in this space that had no other value at the time to provide, died out for the most part.> A lengthy way of agreeing with me. Trumpet made applications that were obsolesced by MSFT's inlcusion of the Winsock into the OS. The same can be said for NSCP. File browsing is a function that, by all logical means for the general consumer, should be included in the OS.
