WINSOCK 1.x vs. 2.x

There are a few settings which are dependent on the version of WINSOCK which is installed on the computer.  In some cases, WINSOCK 2.x is the default since that is the one shipped with the computer.  In particular, Windows 98, NT4.0, and Windows 2000 include WINSOCK 2.x as their default WINSOCK library.  Windows 95 computers, however, may have either WINSOCK 1.x or 2.x installed depending on how the system was built and whether or not the WINSOCK 2.x update was installed.  In general, we suggest that all system be upgraded to WINSOCK 2.x.
