Re: Windows only became a game-changer...
You'll be wanting winsock.dll ...got it on a floppy 'round here somewhere...
"As a gesture of good will, Peter Tattam, the sole copyright owner of Trumpet Winsock, has also issued an amnesty on any copyright infringement by all users (individual and corporate) of Trumpet Winsock indefinitely for use prior to Jan 2011. He does however reserve all other rights in the copyright of Trumpet Winsock."
The latest version supports IPv6 and if you feel so inclined, you can support Peter Tattam's good work even if you didn't do so when his Winsock was virtually essential.
