- That has nothing to do with anything (winsock.dll is not a generic file, it is
- specific to each stack; having to use a different, customized version of the
- dll for each stack is simply par for the course). The point I made was simply
- that with Win95 DUN, the dll is implemented in 32-bit code and 16-bit calls
- are "thunked" (translated, redirected) up to 32-bit. With the current beta of
- Trumpet 95 (and I assume _not_ for the final release), the exact opposite
- occurs. The "guts" are 16-bit so 32-bit calls are thunked _down_ to 16-bit.
