Oeps, Half of my message didn't appear. So I'll try again:

I am using djgpp and rsxntdj and playing around with a few header files.
These files, which I downloaded do not work correctly with djgpp. Most of
the problems arise from something like this:

-------------------------------code example
--------------------------------
struct sockaddr_in {
	short sin_family;
	u_short sin_port;
	struct in_addr sin_addr;
	char sin_zero[8];
};
-------------- snip - A bit farther in the file:
------------------------------
typedef struct sockaddr_in FAR *LPSOCKADDR_IN;
--------------------------- end  code ----------------------------

How can I change this do not produce any error's anymore? I think the
problem is the struct in a struct? Or, if you're an experienced djgpp'er I
would appreciate it if you would go over the file yourself and fix it. The
code sample is from a winsock.h file. If anyone of you has a winsock.h or
winsock2.h file, please sent it to me.

Thanks for your time,
martijn
