Hello.

    I'd like to announce the first beta of libsocket 0.7.4, a BSD-style
socket library for DJGPP.  This beta release has been a long time coming,
and has a few improvements:

- Auto-configuration with DHCP
- Standard include files
- select() bugs final fixed
- More man pages
- Some Linux ioctl() support

Generally it seems more stable. See the home page for the full list.

    I'm beta testing this before the final release, because I need to make a
couple of non-major changes and there are probably still some bugs ;) It
shouldn't change much before the final release though.

    You should download this beta if:

- You are interested in hacking/contributing to libsocket.
- You have problems with version 0.7.3.
- You like the cutting-edge feel of beta programs.

    The beta is available from the libsocket home page at:

    http://libsocket.home.ml.org/

    If you have any questions relating to libsocket, please mail me and I'll
be happy to help.

    Thanks,

    Richard Dawe
