-
- presents the shareware-version of
-
- WSOCK32 V.1.04
-
-
-
- connect-WSOCK32 Version 1.04 March 1996
- ⌐ Copyright 1996 Eric Friedrich
- ============================================================
- - connect-WSOCK32 enables your 16-bit-WINSOCK.DLL to run
- 32-bit-Internet-software on Windows 95« or Windows NT«.
-
- - connect-WSOCK32.DLL translates your available 16bit-
- WINSOCK.DLL into the 32bit-address-space, e.g. of Win95.
-
- - With connect-WSOCK32 and a 16-bit-WINSOCK (such as Trumpet
- Winsock«) you can use e.g. the 32-bit-version of Netscape«
- Navigator 2.0. Usually you get a WINSOCK.DLL-file from
- your Internet-provider or Online-service.
-
- - connect-WSOCK32 replaces the Win95-file WSOCK32.DLL
-
- - WINDOWS 95, connect-WSOCK32 and your available 16-bit-
- WINSOCK team up to give you full access to the new
- Internet-features, like Java«.
-
- - connect-WSOCK32 works with the WINSOCK.DLL-files of AOL,
- GNN and CompuServe, too.
-
- - connect-WSOCK32 does not interfere with your 16-bit-
- Internet-applications.
-
-
- Attention!!!!!
- ============================================================
- The usability of this shareware-version is limited to 30
- online-sessions.
- A licensed version of WSOCK32 costs only US$ 20. You'll find
- a purchase order form on the Internet-pages of connect at
-
- http://cinetic.de/connect/wsock32e.htm
-
- Please do not delete your 16-bit-Internet-applications (like
- Netscape Navigator 1.1), before you're absolutely sure you
- don't need them anymore.
-
-
- The installation of connect-WSOCK32 for Windows95«
- ============================================================
- 1. After downloading cwsock32.zip close your Windows95-
- session. This removes a running TCP/IP-protocol.
-
- 2. Start Windows95 again. Make sure that there's no running
- TCP/IP-connection.
-
- 3. Search for the file WSOCK32.DLL (original 32-bit-Winsock
- of Win95, usually in the directory C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM)
- and, if existing, rename it (e.g. to WSOCK32.W95).
- This is necessary to make sure you won't overwrite this
- file. You might still need it some day.
- For safety's sake you should copy the file on a disk.
-
- 4. This part of the installation is only necessary if you
- do not use the original Microsoft«-WINSOCK.DLL
- (e.g. a AOL, GNN or Trumpet-WINSOCK.DLL).
-
- Change to your Windows-directory (e. g. C:\WINDOWS)
- Search for the file WINSOCK.DLL (original Winsock
- of Win95) and, if existing, rename it (e.g. to WINSOCK.W95).
- This is necessary to make sure you won't overwrite this
- file. You might still need it some day.
-
- Copy your provider's WINSOCK.DLL to this directory.
- That's very important if you work with the WINSOCK.DLL
- of AOL or GNN.
-
- Change, for safety's sake, the file attributes of this
- WINSOCK.DLL to "read-only". Again, that's very important
- if you work with the WINSOCK.DLL of AOL or GNN.
-
- 5. Copy the zipfile CWSOCK32.ZIP to a temporary directory
- (e.g. C:\TEMP)
-
- 6. Extract the zipfile into your temporary directory.
-
- 7. Copy the files WSOCK32.DLL and WSA32SRV.DLL from the
- temporary directory to the Windows-system-directory (e.g.
- C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM).
-
- 8. Change the file-attribute of WSOCK32.DLL to "read-only".
-
- 9. The installation is complete. Now you can connect to the
- Internet and start a 32-bit-Internet-application like
- Netscape Navigator 2.0 or MS Internet-Explorer«.
-
- Hint: Pay attention, that, except for \WINDOWS\WINSOCK.DLL
- and \WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WSOCK32.DLL, your applications do not
- use any other WINSOCK.DLL or WSOCK32.DLL on your harddisk.
- If there are other such files, please rename them. This
- applies to WindowsNT, too.
-
- Exception: The CompuServe«-WINSOCK.DLL, that comes with
- WinCim 2.0, needn't be moved to the WINDOWS-directory.
- This gives you the possibility to have two different
- WINSOCKs on your system (e.g one for AOL and one for
- CompuServe).
- T-Online-Users should read the information in the file
- LIESMICH.TXT.
-
-
- Installation for Windows NT«:
- ============================================================
- 1. The installation is very similar to Windows95.
- 2. If installed or running, first remove your MS TCP/IP.
- The MS TCP/IP can easily be removed by changing the
- network-settings in WinNT.
- 3. Open the directory \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32
- (e.g. C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32)
- 4. Rename the original WINSOCK.DLL as WINSOCK.MS
- 5. Rename the original WSOCK32.DLL as WSOCK32.MS
- 6. Copy the WINSOCK.DLL of your Internet-Provider or Online-
- Service to \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32
- 7. Copy the files WSOCK32.DLL and WSA32SRV.DLL from the
- zipfile cwsock32.zip to the directory \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32
-
-
- Instructions for the use of Netscape Navigator 2.0 (32-Bit)
- and connect-WSOCK32
- ============================================================
- Netscape has (noticed when being connected to AOL) sometimes
- small problems with a few Java-applets. The following
- settings in Netscape Navigator provide a solution:
-
- Open 'Options' in Netscape Navigator
- Network Preferences:
- Number of Connections: max. 2
- Network Buffer Size: 1K
-
-
- 7 good reasons, why you should order a licensed version of
- connect-WSOCK32
- ============================================================
- 1. The usability of this shareware-version is limited to 30
- online-sessions. Afterwards you can't and you are not
- allowed to use the software.
- 2. The licensed version costs only US$ 20. That's really
- inexpensive.
- 3. The developer of WSOCK32 has a right to be paid for his
- good work.
- 4. connect-WSOCK32 is no Freeware. You're allowed pass on the
- shareware-version to your friends - but you have no right
- to install this shareware-version on your harddisk again.
- 5. Licensed users have a clear conscience and get information
- about updates etc.
- 6. The information about the licensed version does not appear
- in the version you paid for. You can start your Internet-
- session without any delay.
- 7. Navigating on the Internet without licensed software is
- not a clever thing to do.
-
-
- Here is how to order a licensed version for only US$ 20
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- (Non-German-residents only. Germans-residents should read
- the order-instructions in the file BESTELL.TXT)
- ============================================================
- In case you like connect-WSOCK32 and you want to order a
- licensed version, here is the way to do it in two steps.
-
- Step 1: Register on the Internet
- --------------------------------
- Visit the connect-WSOCK32 register-page on the Internet at
-
- http://cinetic.de/connect/wsock32e.htm
-
- and fill in the blank form. To process your order, we first
- need your name, your home-address and your Email-address.
- If you don't want to register, you needn't (just continue to
- Step 2a or 2b). But registration speeds up the delivery of
- WSOCK32, because the developer gets your data in a computer-
- readable format, which is necessary to send WSOCK32 to you
- via Email.
-
- Step 2a: Send cash or a non-negotiable check
- ----------------------------------------------
- Mail a non-negotiable check for US$ 20 or US$ 20 in cash to
-
- Mr.
- Eric Friedrich
- An den Dreissigruten 51
- D-64572 Buettelborn
- Germany
-
- Don't forget to put enough stamps on the envelope (e.g. for
- Airmail to Germany).
- Included with the cash or check there should be a piece of
- paper in the envelope. Write legible on the paper that this
- is an order for connect-WSOCK32 plus your name and again your
- Email-address. Without this information, Mr. Friedrich can't
- process your order. The licensed version of WSOCK32 will be
- sent to you as a file via Email as soon as your money arrives
- at Mr. Friedrich. But it might still take more than a week
- before you receive the product-Email, because even Airmail
- can be slow. UPS, FedEx etc. are fast and safe, but more
- expensive.
-
- If you don't want to send money in an envelope, use Step 2b
- for your payment.
-
-
- Step 2b. Send the money via bank transfer
- ---------------------------------------------
- Transfer US$ 20 to
-
- Mr. Eric Friedrich, Buettelborn, Germany
- name of the bank: Kreissparkasse Gross-Gerau, Germany
- identification-number of the Bank: 508 525 53
- bank account number: 40 808
-
- On the bank-transfer-form you must make a note that this is
- an order for connect-WSOCK32 (e.g. purpose:"connect-WSOCK32")
- and include your Email-address. Please write legible.
- Without this information, Mr. Friedrich can't process your
- order. The licensed version of WSOCK32 will be sent to you as
- a file via Email soon after your money arrives on Mr.
- Friedrichs bank account.
-
- Credit cards are not accepted, yet. This might change soon.
- Perhaps you find some information about credit card payment at
- the connect-WSOCK32 register-page on the Internet
- (http://cinetic.de/connect/wsock32e.htm)

- Hint for AOL-Users
- Did you know, that AOL offers a special WINSOCK.DLL?
