libsocket 0.7.4 Whereabouts ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ libsocket Copyright 1997, 1998 by Indrek Mandre libsocket Copyright 1997-1999 by Richard Dawe Portions of libsocket: Copyright 1983-1993 Regents of the University of California Copyright 1991, 1992 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Introduction ------------ libsocket is a BSD-socket library for DJGPP. It uses Windows's networking functions to provide TCP/IP networking services to DJGPP programs. libsocket's home page is here: http://libsocket.tsx.org/ If this does not work for some reason, try here: http://www.phekda.freeserve.co.uk/richdawe/lsck/ Where are lsck074b.zip & lsck074s.zip? -------------------------------------- libsocket 0.7.4 is currently in an extended beta program. This is to debug and fix many of the bugs in the Winsock 2 support added to this version. Although libsocket 0.7.3 is the last non-beta, released version, it is arguably less stable than the betas of 0.7.4. libsocket 0.7.3 will not work with Winsock 2, which means it will not run on Windows '98. It will also not work on Windows '95 after applying the Winsock 2 upgrade. See the FAQ off the libsocket home page. The latest beta of libsocket can be downloaded from the v2tk/beta/ directory of the DJGPP archive. The file name will be of the form 'ls074b.zip', where is the beta number. But The Beta Releases Are Still Too Buggy For Me! ------------------------------------------------- In that case you may want to download a development version. Due to the (seemingly) slow pace of libsocket's development, the betas aren't released that often. A bug may have been fixed in the development version. To download the development versions, go here: http://www.phekda.freeserve.co.uk/richdawe/lsckdev/ I would greatly appreciate help with development of any form - code, documentation, testing, whatever. Thanks, bye, Richard Dawe 1999-09-10
