There are two sockets libs that I am aware of, Watt32 and libsocket, both of which are available from simtel with the rest of the DJGPP distribution. There is more info on both in the FAQ and at the respective maintainers websites. windows libraries are by definition not compatible with DJGPP, since it is a *DOS* compiler. You can run it in a DOS box, but it is quite happy on a plain vanilla DOS system as well. If you want to do it the windows way, get a windows compiler. (LCC-Win32, cygwin, mingw, etc.) Good luck. ------_=_NextPart_001_01BFBF3B.49E83596 Content-Type: text/html Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable RE: Sockets
