- I haven't been able to work on it recently.
-
- When I last touched it, I had the basic socket functions (socket, connect,
- bind, accept, listen, recv, recvfrom, send, sendto, close) and a few netdb
- functions (gethostby{name,addr}) working. In this case, "working" means I
- could compile a program with gcc and link it with my tcp32.dll and everything
- would work.
-
- I also began integrating my socket library into gcc/2's C library, so that
- read(), write(), and close() will work on stream sockets. This also seemed to
- work, but certainly wasn't complete.
-
- I do not guarantee that the approach I am using will work in all cases; my
- simple test program works but that doesn't really prove anything.
-
- I will try to get some kind of release together soon. I realize that a lot of
- people want this thing and that I've been promising it for a while. I think I
- have just about used up my excuse of personal problems.. :-)
