- My apologies if the following questions have been answered in detail...I've
- been away from the list for a few weeks. All have to do with the promise,
- power, and passion of Version 2 Winsock.
-
- 1. So Winsock over IPX is *definitely* in, right? Has anybody else
- implemented this prior to v.2? Is this actually such a big deal
- interface-wise, or are all the required SAP calls covered by available
- GetXByY() semantics?
-
- 2. Has anybody independently set a target date for V.2 specification
- availability? Product interoperability doability?
-
- 3. What are the issues in v.2 currently causing debate and consternation in
- the community? I remember something about Winsock-over-OSI as a bit of a
- bear to pin down, but I lost track of that argument, and don't know if any
- other came to take its place.
-
- 4. (somewhat related) some time ago, I sent Martin Hall a rambling set of
- suggestions for Winsock v.2, one of which (application capability to change
- local host transport address) I now realize is covered in Berkeley Sockets
- under the "interfaces" IOCTL family (along with ARP cache management,
- getting the mask values, etc.). Has this family, or any other family of
- IOCTLs not currently spec'ed in 1.0a, been identified for v.2 inclusion?
-
- Thanks in advance!!
