hmm... maybe a win32 program could be the interface between win95
tcp/ip and djgpp program. i think it could be done in the following
sequence:
	1. loading winsock.dll
	2. init winsock
	3. code a interface function for the djgpp program to call.
	4. lock the function, so i wont get swap out/relocated ( not sure on
this )
	5. lanuch the djgpp program with the win32 program's cs register and
the
	interface function, and go into a loop until the djgpp program ends
	6. djgpp program does its thing. call the interface function with a
far call
	7. win32 goes out of loop, and cleans up
i couldnt test this, since i dont have a win32 compiler to work, and
i couldnt get rsxntdj to load winsock. maybe someone with a win32
compiler could test this.
