If so, how? If not, > how can I use winsocks functionality while programming in djgpp? Currently there are two options available that I am aware of. #1 is a nice little library called WSOCK. WSOCK uses the wsock.vxd to access the winsock features, but it isn't built on the normal winsock specs. It uses classes as where the original specs didn't. The url for this library is below: http://www.rangenet/markiv/wsock.html The only other way that I am aware of is a program called MPATH. It is what quake used to access window's winsock features. The only information I know about floating around on it is via Quake source. What you would have todo is get a copy and look at net_mp.c I believe :). Also You have to make sure to run qlaunch.exe like this qlaunch quakeudp.dll foo.exe your_args_here The only problem I see is what is how legal is this? :) Of course to make it look somewhat legal you could use a Windows Resource editor and change the quake logo in qlaunch.exe to something else. ============== Chad Catlett dwi AT netc DOT com ==============
