The answer to the question in *ENGLISH* is that DJGPP doesn't have a TCP/IP
stack or networking libs like the GCC compiler does so programs that contain
networking code will run into problems.
The solution to the problem is pretty simple. DJGPP should seriously
consider adding/intergrating the WATT32 and libnet packages to the basic
distrubtion.
It'll be a win for everybody. DJGPP will be able to compile more programs,
especially ones ported from linux, and the Watt32 and libnet authors will
get more people testing/debugging their code.
