- NCSA Sockets for Microsoft Windows
- version 1.0 BETA 2
-
-
- Welcome to the second beta release of NCSA Sockets for Microsoft Windows.
-
- NOTE:
- -----
- Our WINSOCK.DLL is NOT a complete implementation of the Microsoft WinSock API. For
- this reason, we do not call it a "WinSock". However, to avoid naming problems, we
- have called our Dynamic Link Library "WINSOCK.DLL", as per the Microsoft specification.
- Do NOT take this to mean we claim it is WinSock compliant. It is not.
-
-
- Requirements for Using WinSock:
- -------------------------------
- Network card supported with a packet driver
-
- Send bug reports and enhancement requests to "wintel@ncsa.uiuc.edu" and be sure to mention
- that you are talking about the Microsoft Windows version of Telnet, and the version number (1.0
- beta _2_).
-
- The complete source code for our sockets library is available-- it is our hope that by making this
- code public domain that it will encourage a community development effort to produce a suite of
- Windows TCP/IP applications. Please mail any enchancements or bug fixes to
- "wintel@ncsa.uiuc.edu" to allow us to incorporate them into future releases so that the whole
- MS Windows using Internet community may benefit.

- History:
-
- 1.0 beta 2-
- Fixed a bug dealing with port swapping in the Sockets library.
- Renamed sockets DLL to "WinSock.dll" to eliminate problems with renaming.
- Sockets library is now SEPERATE from WinTel. This was done because of the
- imminent release of NCSA Mosaic for MS-Windows, which also uses WinSock.
- Be sure to obtain the sockets DLL if you are using our dLL.
