- This is unnecessary, and dangerous.
-
- The original idea behind Windows Sockets was to create one pro-
- gramming interface, with a standard binary interface to *free*
- applications from the bonds of proprietary API's. Any WinSock
- application should run over any WinSock DLL. This is the ideal,
- and we're all there now. You can still find some incompatibilities,
- but they are very few and far between (and continue to dissapear).
-
- The danger in trying to ship a WinSock DLL with applications is
- related to the fact that although the API/ABI is standard for all
- vendors' Windows Sockets DLLs, they talk to their proprietary
- protocol stack interface. Hence, if someone tries to use one
- vendor's WinSock DLL over another vendors TCP/IP stack, it will
- not work.
