I'll create one on onelist (http://www.onelist.com/) and announce again soon. BTW someone recently posted a mail to the djgpp-workers list saying that they had developed a BSD socket VxD for DOS programs as part of a project called Coda. This VxD uses the Windows TDI interface and should therefore work with Winsock 2. Perhaps Winsock 2 support can be added to all socket libraries for DJGPP using it. I intend to investigate this at some point. -- ============================================================================== Rich Dawe - 4th-year MSci Physicist @ Bristol University, UK richdawe AT bigfoot DOT com, http://www.bigfoot.com/~richdawe/ ==============================================================================
