Universe/NT is a hosted MultiValue implementation that executes
as a set of Win32 applications under Windows NT. Support for Windows
95/98 is not available for Universe.
PicLan-IP is implemented on Universe/NT as set of Universe phantom processes
that make remote proceedure calls to a Win32 "daemon". This daemon,
written in 'C' off-loads network buffering and event management from the
Universe/BASIC environment into lower-level 'C' code. This implementation
makes extensive use of Win32 process synchronization functions and multi-threaded
processing to maximize performance and results in a true event-driven run-time
environment.
High-level PicLan-IP functions like HTTP and SMTP/POP3 services are
implemented as standard Universe/BASIC programs that run on phantom processes.
Because they are running on phantom ports, PicLan-IP server processes do
not consume any Universe user licenses regardless of the number of users
accessing the system.
Unidata/NT is a hosted MultiValue implementation that executes
as a set of Win32 applications under Windows NT. Support for Windows
95/98 is not available for Unidata.
