  Please note a version of WINVN has been placed in the Windows
Sockets archive on Microdyne.COM (mirrored at sunsite.unc.edu, which
has a higher-speed connection to the Internet, as well as Windows
Sockets information available via WAIS).  At the end of this posting,
please find the README from the Microdyne.COM archive.

  Via anonymous FTP to Microdyne.COM, anyone is free to access the
directory pub/winsock, which contains files and information pertinent
to the Windows Sockets API.

  Here are the contents of the directory:

finger30.zip		Lee Murach's sample Finger clients, version
			3.0, written to version 1.1 of the Windows
			Sockets API.  "Finger" is written to the
			synchronous, "fake blocking" form of the
			Windows Sockets calls, and "Mfinger" written
			to the asynchronous, message-based ones.

ftpsoftware.zip		FTP Software's Windows Sockets DLL, intended
			to run with PC/TCP 2.10 and PC/TCP 2.11.  This

			(e.g. sample programs) should be placed.
