- NOTE that our WINSOCK.DLL is NOT compliant with the Microsoft Windows
- WinSock API!!!! Enough functionality is implemented to run our
- software, and we follow the Microsoft API, but we have not implemented
- the entire API, or even close to it.

- Quick installation instructions for NCSA Sockets for MS Windows:
- --------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Note: The files (release.*) contains much more detailed explanations
- of each step below. This list is designed for people who
- basically already know what they are doing.
-
- The zip file which you have obtained contains a number of seperate
- files which must be placed in different directories.
-
- 1) Unzip the file into a temporary directory
- (e.g. pkunzip wsockets.zip \tmp)
-
- 2) Copy the TCPLIB.DLL and WINSOCK.DLL Dynamic Link Libraries into your
- windows system directory.
- (e.g. copy \tmp\*.dll \windows\system)
-
- 3) Copy the NCSABIND.EXE driver into whatever directory you wish to
- keep the TSR (Terminate-and-Stay-Resident) drivers.
-
- 4) Place the packet driver for your ethernet card in this directory also.
-
- 5) If you do not use NCSA Telnet for Dos, edit the sample config.tel
- file to be correct for your system and copy it into the same
- directory as wintel. If you already have a config.tel file, you
- can simply leave it where it is.
-
- 6) Edit the ncsa_net.ini file to have the correct name/ip for the
- system and to point to the correct location for the config.tel
- file.
-
- 7) Copy the ncsa_net.ini file to your windows directory.
- (e.g. copy ncsa_net.ini c:\windows)
-
- The next two steps need to be done whenever you reboot your computer
- and then want to run software using our DLL. You may wish to put
- these commands in your AUTOEXEC.BAT. THESE MUST BE RUN BEFORE ENTERING
- MICROSOFT WINDOWS. IF YOU ARE RUNNING WINDOWS, EXIT NOW.
-
- 8) You need to install the packet driver for your ethernet card on
- the software interrupt 0x65 (65 in hexadecimal, 101 in decimal.)
- Refer to the installation instructions for your packet driver for
- how to do this.
-
- 9) You now need to run the NCSABIND.EXE program. It does not need
- any parameters passed to it.
-
- You should now be ready to run.
