	Indrek Mandre's libsocket is a good networking library,
downloadable (currently) from "http://www.pld.ttu.ee/~indrek/".
Unfortunately it's afflicted with the same problems as all TCP/IP
libraries for DJGPP that use Win'95's Winsock are - they don't work with
Winsock 2. This is a major problem, and it means it won't work with
Win'98.

	I'm helping Indrek Mandre with the next version of libsocket, but
I don't think it'll have Winsock 2 in it. Winsock 2 support is a priority,
however.

	Hope this helps,

	Rich Dawe
