Potential problems leaving 16-bit winsock.dll's

If you re having problems getting some of your winsock applications

to work under Win95, make sure you delete any old 16-bit winsock.dll's.

If this file is in the directory were the application resides, it could
cause problems. Programs that could have problems like this are:

  • Ewan.exe (Telnet app)
  • WSIRC.exe (IRC app)
  • WSGopher.exe (Gopher app)
  • NX.Exe (NewsXpress)
  • Netscape v.1.0

We found that if the software listed above is in the same directory as the
Trumpet Winsock.dll file, then they will NOT work under the MS-TCP/IP stack.
