This is release 3 of the Watt-32 tcp/ip library compiled with DJGPP.
Watt-32 is a library for making networked TCP/IP programs in the language
of C and C++ under DOS and Windows-NT. Both 16-bit real-mode and 32-bit
protected-mode is supported. For DOS, Watt-32 requires a packet-driver
(PKTDRVR) to access the data-link layer. Further information about this
library can be obtained at:

DJGPP specific changes.
=======================
The difference between this release and the previous one is that the
library has been compiled using -march=i386 -mtune=i586 to generate
i386 compatible code. These are the same flags that are used to build
the C library of DJGPP from the CVS repository. These flags may not work
with very old compilers and may have to been adjusted accordingly.
The goal is to have a single library compiled with one compiler and not
two different libraries compiled with two different compilers for
different processors.
All other changes are the same than in the previous port releases. For
details of the previous releases that are still valid for this release
see at:

As usual all djgpp specific changes are documented as diff files stored
in the /djgpp directory. If you want to apply the patches to the original
sources, you must apply first diffs-watt-32 and then diffs.
Please do _NOT_ mix libraries. If you decide to compile your project using
DJGPP 2.03 use the watt32 library from the /current directory. But if you
use DJGPP 2.04 then use the watt32 library from the /beta directory.
Do _NOT_ mix libraries compiled with different versions of DJGPP.
The port has been compiled using stock djdev203 (patchlevel 2) and consists
of the two packages that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com and mirrors
as (time stamp 2013-12-21):
Watt-32(version 2.2 dev-rel. 10) binaries, headers,, library and docs:
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/wat3222br3.zip
Watt-32(version 2.2 dev-rel. 10) source:
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/wat3222sr3.zip
The binaries have been produced a second time using the stock version of
djdev204 beta library. This package is available AT ftp DOT delorie DOT com and
mirrors as (time stamp 2013-12-21):
Watt-32(version 2.2 dev-rel. 10) binaries, headers,, library and docs:
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/wat3222br3.zip
Just in case that this library version does not work well on 386 systems,
I have kept the previous release.
Send suggestions and bug reports concerning the DJGPP port to
comp.os.msdos.djgpp or <djgpp AT delorie DOT com>.
Enjoy.
