Are you saying that your NNTP server sends articles that you've read or
that you would only like to see those you've not read yet. The 2 are not
the same.

You should pass gethostbyaddr a pointer to the address, not the address
structure:

  he = gethostbyaddr((char *)&myaddr.s_addr, sizeof(myaddr.s_addr), AF_INET);

(I think!) This is from memory so don't quote me on it :)

Subject: Re: PCTCPAPI.DLL : what is it ?...

In article <2r77bl$[e-mail]> [e-mail] (Jean-Paul.ROY) writes:

   Could somebody tell me what is PCTCPAPI.DLL ?
   And where I can find it, if it is shareware ?...
   Thanks a lot,
           Jean-Paul Roy
           [e-mail]


I  guess this one  ought  to get  into  the  FAQ, as I've  answered it
(personally, by email) previously...

PCTCPAPI.DLL  is the TCP/IP stack  from FTP Software's PC/TCP. This is
_not_ shareware!! It's a _commercial_ TCP/IP product for PCs.

In order to use all  of the Windows applets  provided by FTP  Software
(eg. Telnet, FTP, Ping...), you need to have PCTCPAPI.DLL in your path
(also, you'll need a  few virtual drivers  on your [386Enh] section of
SYSTEM.INI - eg. vpctcp.386 and wfwftp.386 if you're running W4WG).

Older versions (eg.  2.1 or earlier) used this DLL  as the only way to
access the   TCP/IP  stack. Some commercial   products  - eXceed/W and
SQL*Net - can use directly this DLL to use Ftp Sofware's TCP/IP stack.

>From version 2.2 upwards, FTP Software has included a WINSOCK.DLL with
their PC/TCP software.  The first version of this  DLL has defects, it
won't work with  most  Winsock-compliant  programs.  Get the    latest
version from ftp.ftp.com (warning: you'll only  need that WINSOCK from
FTP if   you ARE  using  their PC/TCP  software  -  it won't run  over
anything  else!!). It has been  written to use  PCTCPAPI.DLL, that is,
it's    just another  software    layer,  and  it   has absolutely  NO
functionality over  other   TCP/IP  stacks (eg.   public-domain packet
drivers or such). The PCTCPAPI.DLL,  in turn, uses the device  drivers
provided by FTP Software, and won't work over  anything else, too (so,
even if  you grab an ILLEGAL copy  of it, you  won't be able to use it
anyway).

So,  if you're already using FTP  Software's  PC/TCP, the PCTCPAPI.DLL
must   be somewhere  in   your path.   If  not,  contact  your  system
admnistrator :-)

If you're *NOT* using FTP  Software's PC/TCP, you must have configured
your Winsock-using program wrongly,  to get that  kind of error.  *Or*
you  may have a  copy  of the WINSOCK.DLL from   FTP Software. This is
illegal - if you don't have FTP Software's stack, that is.

Try to reconfigure  your  program   to use  WinSock instead   of   FTP
Software's TCP/IP stack.

If nothing seems to work, email me privately. I'm familiar with FTP
Software's stuff...

    - Luis
