You mean a shim for Win95 stack which allows DOS programs running under
Win95 to use it at the packet level?  I'm interested.

In mechanical engineering, the term is generally used for a small very

believe it came into computing to mean any inserted interface software,
particularly between normally incompatible interfaces, from the
engineering use.
