- Trumpet Software International Winsock Version 1.0 Rev A
- ---------------------------------------------------------
-
- Files
- -----
- winsock.dll - the full TCP.
- tcpman.exe - TCP controlling task.
- this will be loaded by the winsock.
- winpkt.com - fixed version of winpkt --- new version from A#16
- hosts
- services
- protocols
-
- Setup.
- -----
-
- see install.doc
-
-
- Requires
- --------
- packet driver using WINPKT or PKTMUX.
-
- WINPKT must be the fixed version supplied here. There is a bug in
- the original which prevents full sized ethernet packets from being
- received.
-
- PKTMUX must be version 1.2c or greater.
-
-
- Not Supported Yet.
- ------------------
-
- OOB data can't be notified yet.
-
- Some of the get/set sockoptions not implemented.
-
- Bug list
- --------
-
-
- Release 1.0 Rev A
- -----------------
- Final cleanup.
- Fixed msg_peek bug.
- Added ICMP port unreachable & protocol unreachable
- Implemented so_broadcast
-
-
- Final Beta #5
- -------------
-
- Fixed bootp bug.
- Fixed zero timeout problem.
-
-
- Final Beta #1, #2, #3, #4
- -------------------------
-
- Fixed default bootp over SLIP problem.
- Fixed error on comm open.
- Included auto dial on start/finish
- Optional DCD/DSR online status detection to aid in auto login.
- included bootp command in login scripts.
-
-
- Alpha #18
- ---------
-
- Modified the tcp send() to transmit all data if running in blocking mode.
- Fixes winmosaic under slip.
- more WSAT conformancy.
- Added a slip dialer.
- Improved docs.
- Fixed Async UDP & Raw sockets.
- Caught a wierd compiler bug which caused WSAisblocking to return
- random values. Fixed by converting return value to int instead of
- bool.
-
- Alpha #17
- ---------
- Fixed a problem with accept not exchanging tcp mss.
- Fixed a bug in gethostbyname - if DNS required, hostname not copied to hostent
- Added Internal SLIP support. Check it out!!!
- New utility - winarchie (usage: "winarch -archie=your.host.name")
-
- Problems outstanding...
-
- There appears to be some problem with DEC Pathworks. Causes a GPF.
- I've added extra checks to the code and also added error messages for the
- suspected error conditions.
- Reports of sockets not being removed when they have been closed.
- TELW is *NOT* fixed yet. Use at your own peril.
-
- Alpha #16
- ---------
-
- Fixed misc problems regarding conformance of error messages. Not 100% yet.
- Implemented slow start algorithm on sends & general improvements to tcp
- timeout code.
- Fixed elusive listen/accept & shutdown problems.
- Fixed incorrect socket being returned when using a blocking accept call.
- Fixed incorrect handling of SOCK_RAW
- Fixed missing sender addresses on SOCK_DGRAM/SOCK_RAW
- New version of winpkt. Also checks that it is loaded correctly.
- Please read install.doc for modified installation set up.
-
- Alpha #15
- ---------
- Tidy up of bind, fixed getprotobyname, fixed up a bootp releated problem
- preventing the winsock from being restarted sometimes.
- fixed Sock_raw socket() call.
-
- Added extensive debugging switches to allow developers to trace socket calls.
- Beware - the debug info requires some stack space. Hence some apps fall over
- with disastrous results for other apps.
-
- Allow the debug info to be pasted to the clipboard.
-
- Pingw.exe - very basic ping (can run multiple copies)
-
- hopchkw.exe - Warning - Not Winsock compliant. Also interacts with ping since
- it must receive all ICMP messages.
-
- Fixed shared hostent struct for GetXbyY calls. Seperate hostent, servent,
- and protoent structures.
-
-
- Alpha #14
- ---------
- All WSAAsyncGetXbyY routines implemented. The implementation needs a little
- polishing. Requestes are processed sequentially in a global queue by the
- tcp manager.
-
- Fixed a couple of internal shortcomings with WSAStartup and the getXbyY
- routines.
-
- New versions of some apps (Missing ReleaseDC calls.)
-
- Alpha #13
- ---------
- Added HOSTS file support. Beware DNS code has been revamped.
-
- Fixed select call with NULL timeout parameter.
-
-
- Alpha #12
- ---------
- Fixed the bug with tcpman resize causing GPF.
-
- Fixed misc UDP bugs.
-
- Fixed misc listen/accept/close bugs.
-
- Fixed naming problems.
-
- Fixed Async select problems.
-
- Qvtnet 3.7 FTP server still does not work. It appears to be generating
- strange calls to the winsock.
-
-
- Alpha #11
- ---------
- Fixed the select routine so that winqvt detects end of session.
- It was setting FDExcept when the connection was closed.
- fixed problems with listen/accept calls. (affects ftp transfers to distant sites)
- increased local heap size to try to fix following bug.
-
- Outstanding bug.. Unable to reproduce when using slipper.
- 1) start tcpman
- 2) show the tcpman screen. minimize it again or maximize.
- 3) start an application which does name lookups.
- 4) application then crashes with a gpf at the same place each time.
-
- methinks it has to do with the dll's local heap or some stack
- overflow problem when processing the dns call.
-
- This only occurs at work with ethernet driver and/or running Novell Netware.
- Unable to determine which yet.
-
- Alpha #10
- ---------
- Old version of winsock.dll distributed. Fixed, and added internal
- consistency check to tcpman.
- when debug is on, some apps crash with stack overflow. Use sparingly.
-
- debugging:
- tcpman.exe -debug=abcd...
-
- options a=arp
- r=rarp
- e=ethernet
- i=ip
- u=udp
- t=tcp
- +=extra ip and udp
-
-
- Alpha #9
- --------
-
- Fixed problems with tcpman not closing down properly.
- DNS problems checked out. Only appears when the debug options are on.
- I suspect it is due to stack overflows in apps caused by debug info.
-
- winchat problems fixed.
-
- Alpha #8
- --------
- ftpw @ command fixed.
- telw accepts hostname & port in similar way to unix telnet.
-
- tcpman now has a setup dialog
-
- misc mods to winsock.dll
-
- be careful of name lookups. the code is a little simplistic
- and doesn't support multiple tasks very well. I'm working on this one.
-
- Alpha #7
- --------
-
- closesocket and shutdown completed. Not tested fully yet.
- winchat.exe improved.
-
- apparently WinQVTnet working now, but doesn't detect connection closed.
- select broken?
-
- Alpha #6
- --------
-
- Worked a little on closesocket to do the linger options properly.
- shutdown is not implemented in this version properly.
- (it used to do a hard close)
-
- FTPW has a serious bug. don't use the "@" command. It will lock up windows.
- tries to open a file onto standard input.. Either windows should trap this but
- doesn't or I get stuck in a infinite I/O error loop.
-
- Alpha #5
- --------
-
- winchat.exe
- telw.exe (a bit primitive... very minimal vt100 emulation)
-
- AsyncSelect added.
-
-
-
- Alpha #4
- --------
-
- Fixed problems with wsastartup/wsacleanup.
- Also added check for tasks dissappearing.
- Still to be done... closing down sockets for tasks that dissapear.
-
- Wais man 3.1 works. problem was version numbers
-
- provided are a small ftp client and a viewer for wais/gopher to use.
-
- viewer usage: view -font=your_font -size=10 <name of file>
- since font names have " "'s in them, the "_" gets translated to a space.
-
- FTP client seems solid now. I shook out most of the strange bugs.
-
- Alpha #3
- --------
-
- All getXbyY routines functioning.
-
- Blocking functions correctly now. Blocking hooks work.
-
- Cancel blocking won't work for gethostbyname or gethostbyaddr.
-
- getproto... and getserv...
- both use files so should not block for extended periods of time.
-
-
- Tested so far...
-
- wintrump
- hgopher
- gopher book
- finger (blocking version)
- pc eudora appears to work.
-
- Waisman 3.0 doesn't seem to work.
- The winsock fails to get started for some reason or other.
- It doesn't even call WSAStartup..????
-
- Alpha #2
- --------
-
- Bootp fixed. Definitely doesn't pass WSAT yet. Working on it.
-
- Alpha #1
- --------
-
- blockinghook functions not yet working properly.
-
- BOOTP doesn't appear to work.
-
- Network setup requires environment variables. It is envisaged using a file
- called TRUMPET.PRM to define the net parameters.
-
- Interpretation of blocking not strict as yet. It is possible to call a
- non-blocking call while another blocking call is in progress.
