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

Just put another one in separated by space - though I have not had the
first DNS fail to test it out yet. 8-(

Yes, you can choose both the font and the size as command line options.
The syntax is: "view -font=fontname -size=point-size filename", where
filename is the file you wish to view.

You may wish to use Courier or CourierNew.

Later,

----------------
Perhaps you've run out of sockets. You may be able to configure your
TCP/IP stack for more sockets. For instance with LWP, add the following
lines to NET.CFG to increase the TCP and UDP sockets from the default
of 8 to 16:

PROTOCOL TCPIP
        tcp_sockets 16
        udp_sockets 16
