Hello. ir0nm0nk3y AT earthlink DOT net wrote: > It runs fine on the Win95 box (wsock.dll) > but, when I move it over to my laptop running > Win98 with wsock2 I get failures on my socket calls. According to the > libsock FAQ post 074 beta 1 versions work with > wsock2. You need to install a helper device driver to allow libsocket to work under Winsock 2. If you look in the redist/ directory (probably called contrib/ls074b3/redist/), you should see a file called sock.vxd. Copy this file into your windows system directory, like so: copy sock.vxd c:\windows\system Obviously, change 'c:\windows' in the second path to the actual Windows directory name. The next beta version should have a nice installer program. If you'd rather use that, e-mail me and I'll send it to you. Please note that there are a couple of major flaws in the Winsock 2 interface of libsocket due to sock.vxd - connections are always forcibly closed (via a TCP packet with the RST flag set), so use of the FTP protocol is impossible. Hope this helps. -- Richard Dawe richdawe AT bigfoot DOT com ICQ 47595498 http://www.bigfoot.com/~richdawe/
