Have you ever used this library? It seems to work partially on my 
win95 machine, but if i want the library to resolve a hostname the
program crashes. For example if i write: 
   httpget http://134.169.34.240/index.html
everthing works fine (since 134.169.34.240 is the ip of our local www 
server www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de) but
   httpget http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/index.html
gives the follwing output:

Failed...
Trying nameserver...
Nameserver: [(null)]

and then the program crashes with an illegal access and the details section
sais that there's something wrong in WSOCK(01) + 00001834. I don't use
WSOCK 2 and i use libsock 0.72.

It seems that libsock somehow doesn't finger out the name of our dns server
(which is properly configured in win95, winipcfg reports dns to be enabled
and the correct ip of the dns server) and instead gives a null pointer 
down to the wsock-lib which immediately crashes. 

Does anybody know, what's wrong with this??

Please answer to harbaum AT ibr DOT cs DOT tu-bs DOT de, since i miss a lot of traffic 
in this group.

Ciao,
  Till
