Subject: How may I use global variables in my own blocking hook function?


Hi,

    I have a question about the blocking hook function.

    According to winsock spec, I may use WSASetBlockingHook() to set
my own blocking hook function. But there's a problem, how may I use the
global variables in the blocking hook function?

    For example,

    int bar = 1;

    BOOL myownblk(void)
    {
      ...
      bar = 2;
      ...
    }

    ...
    WSASetBlockingHook((FARPROC) myownblk);
    ...


    I know that winsock.dll does really call my blocking hook function
when I call a blocking call, but the global variable bar does not change
value after returning from the blocking call. I think that it is because
the DLL and AP use different data segments. If I declare the variable bar
as "int far", it will be set to 2 after the blocking call, but I can only
run one instance of the AP.

    Is there any one who can tell me how may I use the global variable
in my own blocking hook function and run more than one instance of the
AP?

    Thanks!

There are several different ways to control the location of the
.ini and newsrc files.

1) 'WINVN' environment variable.  You need to do this before starting
   Windows.  (good for lan-manager type environments where the user has
   a connected login directory.)
   set winvn=c:\winvn\serverx

2) On the command line (set via ProgMan..Properties...) For example:
   You can specify either the directory to look for them in, or manually
   locate each:

   c:\winvn\winvn.exe c:\winvn\serverx   (.ini and newsrc in the serverx dir)
   c:\winvn\winvn.exe u:\users\me\winvn.ini u:\users\me\news\newsrc.x

3) setting the current directory differently, as you've discovered.

-Sam

the latest version of winvn (currently 0.90.5) is always available from
ftp.ksc.nasa.gov (128.159.4.20) in the directory pub.win3.winvn
winvnstd090_5 is for winsock
winvnpwk090_5 is for pathworks/lanman

Subject: Question: SLIP using Chameleon's Newt

I just setup Newt to work with my school's SLIP server.  However, there is
one problem.  The SLIP server does not provide dynamic IP addresses but
instead gives you access to the first SLIP connection that is open and
not being used by another user.  This way, each time that IP address
changes.  It's not static, but I was told that it's also not dynamic.
How can I get Chameleon WinSock to work with my local SLIP server?
The IP address and the Domain Server address changes each time.  The
first three numbers in the address remain the same, but the last one
changes.  I am hoping that someone on this newsgroup can help me with
this dilemma.  Please respond via email (preferably).  Thank you very
much.

Subject: Mosaic problems

HELP!!! please!!!
I am having a problem with mosaic (2.0A I think).  It runs ok for about 5-10
minutes, then *BANG* I'm faced with a TOTALLY BLANK screen and a cursor (a la
DOS), no windows, no DOS, no nuthhin.  Only a hard reset gets my system back
up and running.

Has anyone else experienced this behavior (and associated frustration) with
Mosaic or any other winsock application?

Thanks,

John Schmidt

Agreed, best telnet client currently available.

>WS_FTPis the most awesomely good ftp I've ever seen;

Great program.

>Eudora is my favorite for e-mail;

WinPmail is my favorite.  The current version has standalone pop3 support.
It's much more robust, mail filtering etc than Eudora14 anyway.  I haven't
used the commercial eudora.

>Hgopher is my pick of the gopher clients;

Hgopher is OK.  I prefer WSGopher myself.

No contest, Trumpet is better.

Both are great.  Get them both.  You will see when it is best to use one vs.
the other.

Me too.  You might try winwais for a wais client though.

Good luck,

Tom

Subject: Help - need logon script file for Trumpet winsock -> Netcom SLIP

If someone can please help me I would greatly appreciate it.
I have recently installed Trumpet Winsock Version 1.0 in Windows 3.1 to
be used with NCSA Mosaic.  Unfortunately I can not seem to get my modem
dialing my SLIP account via Netcom through the login script file.  And
when I try to use manual login, I can't even type in anything.  Instead
it immediately responds with "Slip disabled"  After which I can not type
a thing.

Also - once I do get logged in, at that time do I just switch windows and
pull up Mosaic.  Is that all there is to it?

Thanks so much.
