For the most part you can just use the functions like Berkeley 
socket functions.  You must initialise the Winsock first, and 
shut it down afterwards.  A few data types change (you should 
use `SOCKET', not `int', for the socket handles) and some 
functions are renamed.  You can't treat sockets as files.  
However, it's not too difficult to live with these limitations. 
The latest prerelease of Libnet contains a Winsock driver for 
djgpp+RSXNTDJ; you can look at this to see what sort of things 
you need to do to make it work.

There you will find a .tar.gz and a .zip.  The content is 
identical.
