- Four words: don't bet on it.
-
- Anything written to the AS225r2 API will work with the emulation of
- socket.library just fine. That can be considered the least common
- denominator.
-
- The I-Net 225 API has been significantly extended (the DNS resolver
- functions, group functions, AmiTCP compatibility functions, etc.). Those
- programs written to the I-Net 225 API _will_ _not_ _work_ by using the
- old emulation library.
-
- AFAIK (and I asked around) the socket.library emulation was never source
- released. I was willing to update it (or at least try); but I'm not
- willing to re-engineer it.
