What more were you looking for? >Also, TCP/IP v1.2 comes with a newsreader application. The copy I've seen did NOT come with the socket libraries. My understanding is that you have to purchase the "Programming Libraries" as a separate package for TCP/IP 1.2. Anyway I searched the hard drive just in case and the only *.lib files have nothing to do with TCP/IP and the only *sock*.* files are header files that came with GCC. Unless I'm missing something I think the assumption that 1.2 has a socket library is incorrect. As for the news reader that came with it. I have NEVER gotten it to work satisfactorily. I'll read one group and nothing I try allows me to read any other group. Also, I am of course familiar with gnus. Anyway, the question still stands: What happened to the free socket library someone here was considering writing?
