I actually just ran into this the other night.  I installed
TaxCut 2003 (which, by the way, mostly works with a few native
DLL's) when it didn't like Wine's ws2_32.  According to the
references built into TaxCut this wasn't part of the original
Win95 that shipped.  It came out shortly after as an add-on and 
was likely first included in OSR2.

Damnit.  How can we test it?  It is possible to split out
the Winsock calls into a separate executable, invoke it and
check the return value.  No rocket science, but I can
imagine it work...

Not a big deal, we'd be hard pressed to find a Win95
pre OSR2 system these days anyway. We can live with it.

Hi,

Should we just look win98 onwards? and put win95/3.1
in the past as it very well deserves to be?

I think we should concentrate on win2k, XP
compliance myself........

I think we can support win95 just fine for now.
Win31 was never in our plans however...

I have one!
It would be a good platform for tests too.

Why not simply link against/use the original 32bit winsock library,
wsock32.dll? It does not support raw sockets and some other advanced
functionalities but that should not be a problem. No?

Sure, we need very basic functionality only: socket,
connect, send and recv for TCP streams.  It's just I didn't
find any documentation on it.  Can you recommend something?
Or just change the version to MAKEWORD(1,1), don't #include
<winsock.h> and link against wsock32 instead of ws2_32?  Is
it supported on each Windows version?  Lots of questions...

Thanks,
Feri.

I believe you should have nothing to change except linking with
wsock32.dll insted of ws2_32.dll. But I believe you already sent a patch
so it seems to just work<g>.
