Just got the shipping version of the Novell WINSOCK, after eons in Beta,
and the damn thing GPFs on our first call to socket(). What gives?
Is it just me? The Beta versions worked fine apart from not receiving
and datagrams.

I had the same problem... and added the line "+ something.somewhere.edu.au" to
the Xhosts listed in the xwindemo menu. I then did direct connection to
something.somewhere.edu.au, that works pretty well. The "+ machine" bit allows
the host machine to open connections to xwindemo or something; im not too sure
about this, i just followed the online help.

Sorry I cant be any more help... im only stupid

Subject: NCSA Mosaic v2.0alpha3 and S3 video card

I was made aware of a posting (group unknown) regarding the latest video
driver for S3 video cards and Win32s, which is not a working combination.

Mos2aph3 hangs my system after it displays the intitial screen. with half
the Mosaic icon in it. The Freecell program crashes too and leaves the
arrows at the corners in each window as empty holes.

My system is a i486/66MHz, 8Mb RAM, S3 VESA Video card running at
1024x768 (256 colors) resolution. WfW 3.11 and Trumpet winsock v.1.0
Rev B beta #4.

Changing the Windows video driver to standard VGA did the trick, Freecell
and Mosaic alpha 3 was running fine. However I didn't check for speed.
The idea to run Windows in 600 by 400 resolution isn't too attractive.

Now the big question: Is a working S3 driver for high resolution Windows
available anywhere on the net? From the noise level in this group the last
days, more than I would be interested in the answar.

Connect to NCSA (ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu) and look in their
"/pub/.../mosaic/viewers" directory.  FTP the "MPEG32" file (look in the
index for the real name).  This viewer is limited to 1M files until you
register it but you should have better luck with it.  Also if you have beta
release 1, do yourself a favor and try out the new versions of Mosaic.   I
have had good luck with both beta 2 and the new 32 bit beta 3.  The version
number of your current Mosaic can be seen in the Help menu under "About
Windows Mosaic..."  Also I haven't had any problems running Mosaic over the
Trumpet Winsock.

Subject: Mosac a3 on Windows NT AS - positive experience

Slawek,

Interesting, I have NT Advanced Server and I'm testing Mosaic Alpha3
and am finding it 2-3 times SLOWER, what are we doing different. I
have tried under NT Standard edition and WFWG3.11 with
MS-TCPIP32 and all are the same.

My config is as follows : 486/66 with 40mb ram running NT Advanced
Server with U.S. Service Pack 2, U.K. Update and running NWCS_II
and FTPSVC. I have a local URL which is BIG and upon loading first
under Alpha2 and the Alpha3, Alpha3 is 2-3 times slower. I have
renamed my WINSOCK.DLL to check if it is actually 32 bit it still
works but slow. I have many other WINSOCK apps which work fine.

I am interested in getting Alpha3 working because I can't seem to leave
in background downloading and run any other 16bit apps ( standard
mode WIN16 ).

I would appreciate a note to let me know your config so I can compare.
