One comment, though: The 32-bit libs work quite well. There's only one
problem though: Buffers which are to be written to the network with the
send call must not cross a 64k boundary. I just used to call send(sockid,
buffer, 128000) for instance to transmit an 128000 byte buffer. This is
*NOT* possible with the PROGCSD.ZIP or PRGCSD.ZIP extension. You got
to chop up your buffer in smaller pieces, copy the pieces to a buffer
which does not cross a 64k boundary (I use a buffer on the stack) and
transmit this buffer.

I hope they come up with a fully 32-bit implementation of the TCP/IP
package soon...
