I'm having problems installing the Trumpet Winsock with Windows for
Workgroups.  According to the Trumpet Winsock instructions I need to
call WINPKT in my autoexec.bat file.  However WINPKT takes a "vector" or
a Software Interrupt Address as an argument.  How do I find out what "vector"
WfW is using?  (The suggested default 0x60 doesnt't work.)

I've got Trumpet to work by using my network card's default driver.  I found
the "vector" to use in the card's *.cfg file.  However, when I do this I
can't see any other workgroup machines anymore.  So does anyone know what
"vector" Windows for Workgroup's driver uses?


                            Thanks,
                            Edward

Consult your compiler documentation.

Basically, there should be a utility (often called IMPLIB) which takes
winsock.dll as input, and produces winsock.lib. The winsock.lib file
produced is an ordinary library file, which contains magic code to
translate your ordinary pascal function call into a winsock.dll call.
You then link with this library in the normal way.

Users of Visual Basic may need to do something else - most VB applications
which use winsock seem to use another library - perhaps it's something to
do with custom controls.

Subject: WFTPD problems


Hi,

I just obtained Alun Jones winsock FTP daemon (version 1.9b) but I seem to
be having some problems with it.

The daemon seem to be working well enough but it appears to be dropping
every other command that is sent to it. Just the first character of the
command string. I tried the greedy option and increased the buffers of my
FTP stack but couldn't seem to solve the problem.

I'm using MS-DOS 5.0, PC/TCP 2.3, Window 3.1, and the FTP client was
the standard Solaris client on a SPARC 2.

Thanks for any tips and/or help.
