- 2.3 What is socket.library?
-
- socket.library is originally is a library included with AS225r2 beta,
- a TCP/IP stack made by Commodore but never released to the public.
- However, since this is a nice and easy TCP/IP stack and a lot of
- developers use it, the THOR TCP programs have been programmed to use
- it. If you use AmiTCP, like most do, you need the socket.library for
- AmiTCP that emulates the AS225r2 socket.library in a way that makes
- AS225r2 programs work. This library is included with Grapewine, the
- IRC client, and can also be found on ftp://hstud6.cs.uit.no/pub/thor.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- 2.4 "Could not open socket.library".
-
- Your socket.library is not installed correctly. Do the following:
-
- - Assign inet: to Amitcp:, like this: "Assign inet: amitcp:"
- - Create a directory called "libs" in Amitcp: (if it doesn't exist
- already).
- - Copy socket.library to Amitcp:libs.
- - Setup the SOCKETCONFIG file in envarc:/env: as described in the
- socket.library documentation.
