- FYI: socktsr.exe corresponds to the name of our real-mode stack's sockets
- interface (there could be other socktsr's out there too). We shipped socktsr
- with LAN Manager 2.1, and have since renamed it to "sockets.exe" to avoid
- confusion. When we release our Windows Sockets API support via "winsock.dll",
- you will have to load this TSR for functionality. Both files will be
- included in the TCP/IP for Windows for Workgroups package.
