Subject:	TCP/IP Socket Utility

        I don't know if you are interested, but I was thinking that a socket 
library for DOS would be very useful, especially for porting UNIX 
applications to dos.
        I tried to use the Trumpet TCP/IP TSR stack, but I couldn't get it 
to work. I've now got the Waterloo TCP library (inc. source) and various 
programs using it (inc. source), and I was thinking about porting it to 
DJGPP. It doesn't look too bad, but if you don't know anything about djgpp's 
innards.....
        Unfortunately I don't know anything about realmode/protected mode 
interrupts, and real mode callbacks or any other innards of djgpp. Thus, I 
would really like someone to start converting it. If anyone did start it, I 
could probably learn from a few of the files how to convert them and finish 
it off myself. It's just that I have got major exams in 8 days, and I 
haven't got the time to work out all about interrupts (plus I haven't got 
any documentation [I don't think...] ).
        Any help would be Really appreciated. 

                Yours,

                        Martin.
