HawkNL is a free, open source, game oriented network API released under
the GNU Library General Public License (LGPL). HawkNL (NL) is a fairly
low level API, a wrapper over Berkeley/Unix Sockets and Winsock. But NL
also provides other features including support for many OSs, groups of
sockets, socket statistics, high accuracy timer, CRC functions, macros
to read and write data to packets with endian conversion, and support
for multiple network transports. NL has been tested on Windows
9x/ME/NT/2000/XP/CE, Linux, Solaris, IRIX, AIX, BSDs, MacOS 7-9 and
MacOS X. There are also the two high level APIs, HawkNLU(tm) (NLU)
and HawkVoice(tm), which are built on top of NL. It is NLU and
HawkVoice(tm) that are most exciting, since they give developers
portable, easy to use alternatives to Microsoft®'s DirectPlay® and
DirectPlay® Voice.
