Hi!

I'm glad to announce libsocket-0.6.
It's a networking library for djgpp and M$ windows 95.
The library tries to be as compatible as possible with Berkeley socket
standard.

The previous version 0.5 was quite buggy so I recommend everyone to upgrade.

You can download it from:
	http://www.pld.ttu.ee/~indrek/downloads/libsocket-0.6.zip

Here's its history:

v0.6	01.12.1997
	* Made workaround to djgpp's fsext bug, thanks to Heiko Jappe.
	* Fixed close, now fopen after creating and closing sockets works.
	* Added a great deal of documentation by Richard Dawe.
	* Added netsetup script by Richard Dawe.
	* Lots of minor bugs fixed.
	* Added fcntl call and defined some new flags that I would like to see
	  in future DJGPP versions: O_NDELAY and O_FNDELAY.

v0.5	11.10.1997
	* Fixed misfeatures in Makefiles pointed out by Laszlo Vecsey.
	  Created one global Makefile.cfg.
	* Name resolving now even works.
	* Wrote new demo resit that demonstrates name resolving.

v0.4	15.09.1997
	* Fixed the bugfix made with recv. I discovered that after connect on
	  many 95's the programmes crash.

v0.3	28.08.1997
	* Fixed bug in recv/recvfrom (blocking and return value and EOF cond.)
	* connect now waits for windows -> send just after connect
	  works now
	* wrote new demo httpget that gets http files from www servers.

v0.2	22.08.1997
	* Fixed makefile bug when make all gave errors at demo directory.
	* Wrote client.c and server.c as demos at demo directory.
