Folks:

The subject line says most of it, but here's the rest:  I've got a user
reporting "no soap" with Winsock Cello trying to do FTP.  He's using
Frontier.  From the trace output he sent me it appears that something is
going way wrong with a call to getsockname() -- a problem I'm not seeing
with any other stack.  Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of Frontier to
test with.

So, two questions:

1) Anybody else seen this problem?
2) Does Frontier have a demo site anywhere where I could pick up a version
to test with?

Puzzled,
Tb.

Someone from NCSA (either Jon or Chris) had mentioned a while ago
to me that they had also had trouble getting WinTel to work over
any Winsock implementations other than their own -- for reasons that
were not very clear.

I have not been able to get them to run over SuperTCP and two other
Winsock providers.

Great idea!  Where is your source code posted? :-)

Last night I spent about a hour tring to figure out how to create a basic
socket...it turned out that at first I forgot to include the lib and then I
had changed to verion 1.0 on the startup function and after that it was just
fine.  First for me though is a rewrite of traceroute or ping.  Then I get
to do a status server and then back into more mail programs.  I was going to
write a mailer that would pickup mail on a unix box and display it on windows
in such a way as not to risk the storage of the message on the relability on
the pc.  Hey I work for the AF and you can't trust the low bid pcs they have
here.

Subject: where do I get wmosaic

I saw a couple of postings about wmosaic which
I assume is the windows equivalent to xmosaic.
Where do I get a copy?

        Thx, Steven Nurenberg

ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu  /PC/Mosaic

Note:  This is only the second beta version (in other words, it is still
       unstable).

Note2:  We just got this group yesterday (per my request) so any questions or
        comments concerning NCSA Mosaic for Windows were not being ignored,
    they simply weren't being seen...
