These files are part of a socket library, which is typically required for
network applications. Since DOS doesn't have one standard network interface,
this isn't implemented in DJGPP. However, there exist some libraries which
let you use a socket interface to Windows' Winsock scheme. One is called
WSOCK; I don't know where you can find it but look for links on
www.delorie.com .
