Abstract
Abstract Bidirectional communication between one or more workstations which may be operating on one platform such as UNIX, VAX/VMS or NOVELL's NetWare with an event driven database which is operating on a different platform such as QNX is made possible by separating a gateway into two portions with one portion in each platform bidirectionally linked with a pair of BSD socket libraries on each platform.
