My first use for it is an interface for mirc, as a database server, and to have
Eu do more than mirc can do, faster. I am ok using socks, which i almost
prefer because of fewer limitations. However, using socks on a puter
connected to the internet, without a firewall, opens the applications to
possible connection from/to the internet, and this is Not A Good Thing. I
run a firewall, but most people don't. So i figure for an application i want to
hand out to windoze users, DDE is safer, and mirc handles it nicely.
