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?
