	I'll create one on onelist (http://www.onelist.com/) and announce
again soon.

	BTW someone recently posted a mail to the djgpp-workers list
saying that they had developed a BSD socket VxD for DOS programs as part
of a project called Coda. This VxD uses the Windows TDI interface and
should therefore work with Winsock 2. Perhaps Winsock 2 support can be
added to all socket libraries for DJGPP using it. I intend to investigate
this at some point.
