Can someone help me, I'm sure there's a simple solution to this behaviour.

When I build my winsock application I link in the winsock.lib file. When the application starts, if it cannot find a winsock.dll anywhere in the path then it bombs out with a system modal "Cannot find WINSOCK.DLL" and the application never
starts. This message occurs before my applcaition starts and reaches the point
where I call WSAStartUp to test for a valid WINSOCK.DL

If none is found I handle that error correctly, but of course I can't test this since the app
never starts.

I have tried the following to track down what's occurring

1./ I break just before the first winsock call I ever make (WSAStartUp)
2./ I try and load the DLL directly using loadlibrary to see if that fails
3./ Break at the very start of my program

None of these work if there is NO winsock.dll anywhere in the search path

I suspect some startup code has been linked into my app and it is that which is failing. I have tried several winsock.lib's. They are all 4096 bytes long and vary in date.

Has anyone seen this?
Has anyone fixed this?
Who actually controls the winsock.lib
Is there source code for it?

Hope you can help

Paul

TOP 1 0 is correct.  The command should retrieve just the message headers.

I grabbed WinVin and tried it out this morning.

Blech.

Back to Trumpet.

I've been calling their tech-support line every day
this week to be sure I'm still on their call-back list.
Having bad mail problems, maybe one email out of 20 gets
through. Also, telnet into port 25 on any machine, even
the PC, gets the first line of "220 Hi-there, who are you?"
and locks up. The modem led's flicker as if my keystrokes
are being sent, but nothing at all comes back. Doing the
same telnet from the Suns at work...no problem.

I lookforward to talking to them about this, ...someday.

I like the way it sets up, and the way MOST of it works
together seamlessly. Dedicated packages will likely make
a "better POP client" or "better newsreader", but overall
it gives a good set of applications.

...I only wish I could have gotten one of those green/yellow
stuffed chameleons they were "selling" at Interop...

...ok, maybe just me.

WS_GMail does what you want as well, __I think__.  It has two settings:

a. Work entirely from the POP server, with no local copy of the mail.

b. Copies from the server to a local file and deletes on the server.
