  32. Description:
  33.  
  34. !Netlib provides a BSD 4.3 function call library for writing network programs.
  35. Standard C network headers are provided and should be included as usual within
  36. your programs. The headers are actually those from BSD 4.4 with some structs
  37. regressed to be BSD 4.3 compatible.  Note that you need a compiler which
  38. supports 16-bit shorts so that excludes Easy C.
