- Winsock RCMD.DLL Version History
- --------------------------------
-
- Version 1.0 - Initial Release
-
- Version 1.1 - Minor changes.
- (11/30/94)
-
- Version 1.2 - RCMD.DLL would only allow a host name to be used, not an
- (12/13/94) IP address (i.e., a dotted-decimal address of the host). For
- example, using a host of "89.0.0.8" would result in a
- "Record Not Found" error from Windows Sockets.
-
- This occurred because the Windows Sockets "gethostbyname()"
- function only allows host names to be specified, unlike Unix,
- which allows both IP addresses and host names. RCMD.DLL now
- determine whether or not you have specified a host name or IP
- address and adjusts accordingly.
-
- Version 1.3 - DLL now uses the large model.
- (12/30/94)
-
- Version 1.4 - Retries up to ten times when Connection Refused error received
- (01/16/95) from Windows Sockets.
-
- Version 1.43 - Added retry on Shutdown and Timeout errors. Added two options
- (01/30/95) that can be placed in the [RCMD] section of WIN.INI:
-
- RetryError: Set this to the Windows Socket error number
- (usually between 10000 and 11000) that you
- want Winsock RCMD.DLL to retry on when
- received when trying to connect to the remote
- host. This number should be POSITIVE, even
- though the Winsock RCMD.DLL error window shows
- it as negative.
-
- RetryCount: The number of times Winsock RCMD.DLL should
- retry when the Connection Refused, Shutdown,
- Timeout, or the error specified in the
- RetryError configuration option is received.
- The default is ten (10) times.
-
- Version 1.50 - Added additional retries for Trumpet. Updated manual to show
- (03/01/95) how to use rexecd and passwords in addition to rshd.
