- We're not aware of any bugs in our WinSock DLL that cause a GPF with
- any of the existing commercial or public domain applications. If
- you are running into any problems, we would like to here about them.
- We can help you. Please send your bug reports to support@ftp.com.
-
- When you file a bug report, it's important to include as much
- information about the problem as possible. Specifically, the
- versions of the PCTCP product you are using, the application you
- are running, what you did that caused the problem and if there's
- a GPF box, tell us what it says (what module caused and error in
- what module and where). Also--most important--what version of our
- WinSock DLL you are using.
-
- Our DLL version is returned in a string in the lpVendorInfo field
- of the WSAData structure (returned by WSAStartup). You can also
- retrieve it by running Microsoft's EXEHDR or Borland's TDUMP
- utilities; it's kept in the "Description" field. Short of all
- that, any utility that shows strings in binaries (like a debugger)
- will let you at it.
