Maybe the last of the winsock discussion here.
Just so we are clear on things. Winsock is for pure Windows
programs, not for DOS programs. We say again, pure Windows programs.
And, I am unaware of any winsock implementation yet smart enough
to get the heck off the hardware when the last close occurs. They
all want to sit and occupy space and attachments whether used or not
(not to mention complaining bitterly if one of their friends isn't
ready when Windows starts). That puts these things in the category
of TSRs rather than upon-demand programs. I think the industry has
a step to go yet to clean up this act.
NDIS 3 shims. Be my guest. First you need to decode NDIS 2,
and then the tangle constituting NDIS 3.
Splitting MS-DOS Kermit into pieces. Won't happen, please forget
about the concept.
