You can call the Winsock (or any other DLL) functions directly from VB,
just use Declare Function (or Declare Sub) as detailed in the VB manual
and help files.  As for the specification, Richard Clayton replied to me

I don't remember which directory, but ISTR it was fairly obvious.  You
could also look in ftp.demon.co.uk:/pub/ibmpc/win/winsock (something
like that, the directory structure has changed recently).  Or possibly
/pub/docs/...
