- There would need to be a 'bsdsocket.library' created, which actually
- calls the I-Net 225 socket.library. It could be done, but hasn't, yet.
-
- However, the next Beta (final?) will have compatibility functions in it
- so all you will need to do is recompile AmiTCP code with new headers,
- and link with new link libs (headers & libs will be in the SDK when its
- posted to AmiNET - soon), and the program should work with no other
- changes, in most cases.
-
- This won't help for things where you don't have source, but its a lot
- better than no compatibility at all...
