[sorry to waste bandwith with this, Netters, but I _really_ need this. All
his messages have expired at my site, so I don't have his email address,
and the phone given in the distribution dox is no fax. My apologies!]

Mr Tattam:

I need to send you a fax urgently on behalf of my organization (this is
my private news/mail feed). The international phone number listed as a fax
in your distribution of Trumpet Winsock gives me an answering machine, not a
fax. Please get back to me ASAP with a fax #, thank you !
Regards,
FP. (Paris, France)

Greetings!

I've been really happy with the following combination:

WS_FTP at            129.29.64.246:/pub/msdos
QVTNet 3.97 at       129.29.64.246:/pub/uploads
            (or it's home site of: biochemistry.cwru.edu,
             the only problem with this site is that it is
             closed for anonymous FTP access between the
             hours of:  1700 and 0900 EST (GMT -5))
HGopher 2.4 at       lister.cc.ic.ac.uk:/pub/wingopher
Mosaic 2.0a2 at      ftp.NCSA.uiuc.edu:/pc/mosaic
Trumpet Newsreader @ ftp.utas.edu.au:/pc/trumpet/wintrump/*

Note:  129.29.64.246:/pub/uploads has a good collection of files mentioned
here, but where possible, I tried to list the home directories of these files,
in case there is a modification.

Further note, make it a habbit to check the sites listed above for new
versions! On some of these files (like WS_FTP, etc) they change them almost
weekly!!  Winsock Apps are booming!

Hope it helps!
 Eric

Subject: Small, experimental FTP site open for the weekend

WHAT'S HAPPENING THIS WEEKEND?
I've opened up my PC as an FTP server for the weekend to test the system
out.  THIS IS NOT AND WILL NOT BE A PUBLIC FTP SITE.  It will be for
work related and personal use only.  But I wouldn't mind if over
the weekend people logged on, looked around, and did some downloads.
I want to see what happens when my machine gets a little traffic.
I also want to see how the server software stands up.

WHEN IT WILL BE OPEN
>From the moment you read this until about 7am Monday morning, March 14.
Of course, if my system can't handle the traffic, then it will crash and
you won't be able to log on.

WHAT YOU WILL FIND THERE
I have the standard /pub directory with some .txt files explaining
things.  As far as software goes, I've assembled some shareware
and freeware that I think is worth having.  If you're a continual
Net Surfer, then you probably have all the stuff already.  But, I have
also assembled some Windows Wallpaper bitmaps there, 99% of which you
have never seen.  If you like castles in Germany, then you'll like
what I have here.  Be warned though, these files are up to 900k and not
compressed!

HOW TO GET THERE
FTP to 128.183.22.177 and do an anonymous login.  It's that easy.  If
your ftp software can't autodetect the type of system it's logging in to,
then set it to look for either DOS/Windows or Chameleon.

AFTERWARDS
If you have any problems, could you be kind enough to drop an e-mail
message to [e-mail].  If you just want to drop me a
note saying you were there, loved my collection, and had no problems,
that would be great too.

FINALLY
Keep in mind, you'll be reading files from a rewritable-optical drive.
Those are not the fastest drives in the world (but they're not slow
either).  And my PC is a 486DX2 66MHz running Windows 3.1 and using
Chameleon 4.0 network software; it's NOT any super multi-tasking setup.
Although more than one person can log on at the same time, the performance
will get really slow if they do.

I'm just posting this in the alt.winsock newsgroup because I don't want
a zillion and a half (that's 1,000,000,xxxxxxxx,000.5!) people attacking
my machine all weekend long.

So, if you care to take a look, enjoy!

Subject: Problem with FD_SET & FD_CLR in MS WINSOCK.H

Hello,

For those of you using MS WINSOCK.H watch out for calling FD_SET multiple
times with the same socket descriptor. If you examine the following macros it
is clear that FD_SET blindly adds the socket descriptor to the array (and
FD_CLR only clears a single instance of the descriptor). This can easily be
fixed by either deleting the break line in the FD_CLR (which will cause all
fd's with the same number to be deleted) or by adding the code in FD_SET to
check if the given descriptor is already in the array (best method) prior to
adding the new descriptor.

This is important if you are porting a UNIX app to NT because UNIX will handle
this case correctly while the unmodified WINSOCK.H will not.

#define FD_CLR(fd, set) do { \
    u_int __i; \
    for (__i = 0; __i < ((fd_set FAR *)(set))->fd_count ; __i++) { \
        if (((fd_set FAR *)(set))->fd_array[__i] == fd) { \
            while (__i < ((fd_set FAR *)(set))->fd_count-1) { \
                ((fd_set FAR *)(set))->fd_array[__i] = \
                    ((fd_set FAR *)(set))->fd_array[__i+1]; \
                __i++; \
            } \
            ((fd_set FAR *)(set))->fd_count--; \
            break; \
        } \
    } \
} while(0)

#define FD_SET(fd, set) do { \
    if (((fd_set FAR *)(set))->fd_count < FD_SETSIZE) \
        ((fd_set FAR *)(set))->fd_array[((fd_set FAR *)(set))->fd_count++]=fd;\
} while(0)

Thanks,

Subject: Norbert Hoffmann please read

I have tried 3 times to reply to your E-mail message, but I keep getting
an "undeliverable mail" response. Since there is nothing particularly
private about my response, I am posting it here it hopes that you see it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry, but I'm afraid my response is going to be too brief to be
useful.   :^)

My real background is in Windows programming and support. I am
familiar with some of the strain that Chameleon places on a Windows
based PC, from a memory viewpoint, but I'm really not qualified to
judge the merits of a particular network platform.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
