1) I need a tcp/ip lib for DJGPP. Where can I find it? I know that there's
wattcp but it has a bad config. method (it uses an external config file) so
I can't use it for internet (it hasn't dynamic address support, the user
should every time reconfigure the .ini file). Can I use windows95 sockets
for this? If so where can I find a good & WELL DOCUMENTED socket lib (I
don't know anything about w95 programming)? Where can I find documents on
sockets?

2) What's new in gcc 2.8.0? I currently use PGCC 1.01 that's based on EGCS
1.01 that's based on gcc 2.8.0. Is there a djgcc port of gcc 2.8.x? And
what's new in binutils 2.8.1? I only know the bad things (fixed size stub
port), not the good ones... as/gas supports mmx now? BTW the bu 2.8.1
readme says that djp shouldn't work with .exe files, but it works for me...
Why? (It doesn't work only if I strip the exe: gcc foo.c strip a.exe djp
a.exe, but if I do: gcc -s foo.c djp a.exe it works well)

3) Is the float type 32bit in djgpp? Is the following table correct in djgpp?

float 32bit
double 64bit
long double 80bit

How can I address 64bits or 80bits with gas (mov QWORD PRT mem,st(0) == ???)?
