- This directory contains the necessary files for 16-bit Windows Sockets
- support for the Windows NT October Beta release. These files have not
- received the thorough testing that the released Beta received, and should
- be used cautiously. In particular, you are encouraged to make backup
- copies of the Beta files that these overwrite in case you need to revert
- to the Beta.
-
- To use these files, go to the "system" subdirectory of the NT tree and
- rename wow32.dll to wow32.sav, wsock32.dll to wsock32.sav, and
- wshtcpip.dll to wshtcpip.sav, then copy in the four files included here.
- Reboot and you'll be ready to run 16-bit Windows Sockets applications.
- If you experience problems running non-Windows Sockets 16-bit applications
- or with 32-bit Windows Sockets applications, revert to the original files
- included with the beta. The files included herein work on either free
- or checked(debug) builds.
-
- Known problems with the 16-bit Windows Sockets code include:
-
- - WSASetBlockingHook() does not work.
- - WSACleanup() doesn't close open sockets.
-
- A fully tested implementation of 16-bit Windows Sockets support will be
- included in the next NT Beta release.
-
- Feedback and bug reports to the mswin32 forum on Compuserve, please
