Yes there is. For example WINVN 0.90.4.

Subject: SLIP communication problem


I've been trying very hard to establish a SLIP connection, everytime I
call, the line connects fine but when I try to ping or ftp, I don't
receive anything.  My friend said it might be a parity problem, I tried
changing my VRAM in my modem as well in an external dialer but nothing has
worked.  I'm using the Alpha version of Winsock and have tried the Beta
version and the same problem occurrs in each.  I've gotten help files and
faqs, but nothing refers to my specific problem.

Thanks in advance.

Subject: Newbie question re: Winsock and Netware

Forgive me if this is silly question, but:

   "Does Winsock run over Novell Netware (with nothing else but the bare-bones
TCP/IP support provided by Netware)?"

We are in the midst of configuring a 10BaseT LAN running Netware 3.12 and are
looking for a few TCP/IP applications (such as Gopher and a Netnews reader)
that can run alongside Netware, without requiring a separate TCP/IP protocol
stack.  We are looking at the Chameleon stack, since it talks to Netware's
ODI driver, but we'd rather not go through the expense of a complete TCP/IP
stack just for the sake of running a few TCP/IP applications.

Would Winsock allow us to run a Gopher and a Newreader client over Netware
without requiring additional components of a TCP/IP stack?

Many thanx,
Arty

Do you have an ATI graphics card?  There's a bug in the Windows video driver
that comes with the ATI cards.  You can get the most recent video drivers
from ftp.cica.indiana.edu, in the directory pub/pc/win3/drivers/video.


>Is there also a new version out there that I don't know about?

The final 1.4 is the most recent freeware, which is available on our
anonymous ftp server, ftp.qualcomm.com, in the directory
quest/eudora/windows/1.4.

You can also find information there about the commercial version of Eudora,
which is currently at version 2.0.1.

I think it has to be there. but the other neccessary
files are only files, protocols, services, winsock.dll,
i.e. 188 kB in our case on local disk of a station. We
have this directory in the path.

We have no such file. This is probably part of MS TCP/IP
or some application.

We have all TCP/IP application including ping and other
from Trumpet Winsock on the server in the shared
directory tree. There is no problem in this point. But
of course many programs (not only TCP/IP applications)
write their .ini files in the user's windows directory.

We have the file trumpwsk.ini on the station. Then there
is no need to fill environment variables with such
things.

No guarantees on correctness here... im only an idiot 8P

WinSock is a standard set of library functions put together by a bunch of
gurus. The definition of WinSock is not copyrighted so many companies have
written their own version: this includes Sun's PC-NFS. They unfortunately
charge money for their libraries. There is a shareware version floating around
called Peter Tattam's Winsock which works very well. I got my version off
ftp.utas.edu.au and it was called trmpwsk.zip. This includes WINSOCK.DLL and a
news reader he has written (the one i use :). HGopher+ 2.4 runs fine under his
version... as do most programs i use such as Windows FTP and NCSA Mosaic.
Download this file and follow the instructions included.

Subject: Urgent query re sockets/NT/16-bit app
To: [e-mail]
X-Vmsmail-To: SMTP%"[e-mail]"

I am trying to create a 16-bit application using BC4 that will run under NT
and open a socket to communicate with a server (a 32-bit app created with
VC+
 to know:

a) which dll I need to link to -- is it winsock.dll?  Then why is it located
in winnt/system32, and not in system?
b) how to get/create the import library to link to the dll.

I just tried running implib on winnt/system32/winsock.dll and linking with
that, but when I tried to run the program under NT I got a message box saying
that one of the libraries is damaged, which I'm assuming means that winsock is
32-bit and can't be linked to my 16-bit app.  (BTW, I've thought of rebuilding
the app as 32-bit, but due to some bugs in one of Borland's class libraries it
crashes as a 32-bit app.)

I'm working under a very tight deadline, so any immediate response would be of
inordinate assistance.  Thanks in advance.
