AFAIK, the purpose of the WSOCK library available for djgpp is to enable
djgpp apps to make winsock calls. (someone correct me if i am wrong.)

under windows, winsock _IS_ TCP/IP (well, ok, newer version support
other types of protocols, too.) in any case, you need to lern abouit
winsock programming in general. there are good starting places out
there. i have some links at

i don't get this. i guess you built the irc client without being aware
of what exactly you were doing. in any case, winsock is off-topic for
this ng. when you know enough to ask more specific questions, you will
probably get more exact answers.
