Where do the WinSock developers hang out?

I've been posting technical development questions like:
     Where can I find sample winsock C code?
and have not received any replies.

So I guess this news group is for winsock end users.  Could someone
please point me to the news group or mailing list where the devolopers hang
out.

Could you please post and email your response.  I don't always get news
feeds from this group.

Thanks

A note to anyone using the Trumpet newsreader ver. 1.0b: Peter Tattam has
advised that this release has a serious bug regarding mail in it and requests
that sites *not* carry it until he's fixed it.

Subject: Looking for winsock.zip , Where did it go?

Looking for winsock.zip , Where did it go?

In the alt.winsock FAQ it states that the winsock.dll can be found in
winsock.zip at:
    biochemistry.cwru.edu/pub/trumpwsk  or
    sunsite.unc.edu/pub/micro/pc-stuff/ms-windows/winsock

but the file is missing.

Has the file been temporarily removed for updating?
Will it be uploaded soon?
Or has it been moved?  To where?

What I'm really looking for is the winsock.h file for trumpit.  I understand
this has some SLIP commands in it that don't exist in other DLL's.

Thanks

A good question!

I expect everyone thinks someone else will tell you. There is little
enough and you'll find it inside the ZIPs of the various applications,
which you will find on sunsite, cica, biochemistry (ie the usual
suspects) or there is a good collection on ftp.demon.co.uk
(in /pub/ibmpc/winsock and below) but this machine has been a little
unwell for the past day or so.

Another good question! There was once a proposal to split the group
to add alt.winsock.hackers and some other group whose name escapes me
at present, but the mkgroup was forged and a rmgroup was issued and
certainly it never happened anywhere round here.

There is indeed a need for such a group - but nothing is happening.
This is sad.

>Could you please post and email your response.  I don't always get news
>feeds from this group.

Fair enough - but it would be polite to promise to summarise to the
net. Apart from anything else it will save you getting a lot of
"please tell me too" mail.

Please tell me too!

I found by using trial and error that I had to use winpkt 0x69 after odipkt
was loaded.
I also found that on my machine I would run into a number of problems when
both the odipkt and the winpkt was loaded high.
Hope this Helps.

There is (I think) a mailing list for developers.  I don't know how active it
is, but it's worth a try.  Subscribe by sendin a request to
"[e-mail]"  The body of the message should read:

subscribe winsock-hackers Your Name

with Your Name inserted.  Hope this helps.

Subject: NCSA Mosaic v2.0alpha2 Released


We are happy to announce the release of  NCSA Mosaic for Microsoft Windows
Version 2.0alpha2.  NCSA Mosaic is a network navigational tool that will
allow you to easily access networked information with the click of a button.
Mosaic is capable of accessing data via protocols such as Gopher, World
Wide Web, FTP and NNTP (Usenet News) natively, and other data services
such as Archie, WAIS, and Veronica through gateways.  NCSA Mosaic was
designed to provide its user transparent and seamless access to these
information sources and services.

SA Mosaic for Microsoft Windows is a WinSock client program.  It requires
network (TCP/IP) access through the WinSock DLL interface.  If you are using
Windows NT, this is built in. If you are using Windows 3.1, you need to
obtain a WinSock and install it on your system.  If you are running a
commercial TCP/IP stack, such as FTP Software, Novell, PCNFS, etc., you
will need to obtain that vendors winsock.dll.  If you need a winsock.dll and
you would like to obtain an alpha version of a shareware product called the
"Trumpet Software International Winsock", you can find this product at the
ftp site, ftp.utas.edu.au.  The file winsock.zip is in the pc/trumpet/winsock
directory.

Version 2.0alpha2 of Mosaic is available via anonymous FTP on NCSA's FTP
server, "ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu"(141.142.20.50), in the directory "/PC/Mosaic".
The file is wmos20a1.zip.

Here's what's new:

-Redirect bug fixed
-Spiffy new hotlist/menu user interface
-Proxy gateway support
-DNS cacheing
-faster GIF decoding
-URLs missing trailing slash (e.g. "http://cs.indiana.edu") now have
 correct relative urls
-Several FORMs bugs fixed-
   -Added linebreak after end of form
   -Fixed linebreak after checkboxes & radio buttons
   -Added support for input type isindex (no autosubmit, though)
        -Text areas now submit correctly
        -Forced extra painting to fix drawing problems
        -Elements are now sent in the same order as Mosaic for X
        -Added input type "hidden"
        -Fixed forms associated memory leaks
-External telnet no longer returns "-9999" error
-leading/trailing spaces in entered URLs are now ignored
-GPFing on multiple reloads fixed
-Background is erased before redrawing when right-clicking on an
 unloaded image
-Window position saves correctly again
-Fixed drawing of search window
-Minor memory leak fixed in NCSA Icon
-Minor memory leak in SGML parser fixed
-Memory leak fixed in Document
-A few more GDI leaks plugged
-Doubled available user menus (to 20 menus, 40 items each)


BUG REPORTS AND ENHANCEMENT REQUESTS should be emailed to
"[e-mail]".  PLEASE INCLUDE THE VERSION NUMBER YOU ARE USING
IN ANY MAIL YOU SEND US.  Thank you for your interest and support.

I've found that this problem only happens when I check the "READ ONLY" box in
the setup menu.  If I have Trumpet delete the messages, then everything works
fine.

Jeff, please try this with your setup and let me know if you get the same
results.  Also, if anyone can shed some light on this problem I would
appreciate it.  Thanks.

If you put an IP address for any server, you need to enclose it in square
brackets, e.g. [198.7.0.2].
