Can it check to see whether winsock is already loaded before trying to load 
it?  On a system which is already connected to a network, winsock should 
already be there.

Also, I seem to have the necessary information in my registry.  From my 
registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\MSTCP]
"LMHostFile"="C:\\WIN95\\lmhosts"
"NodeType"="1"
"EnableDNS"="1"
"HostName"="mickey2"
"Domain"="stac.com"
"SearchList"=""
"NameServer"="199.106.174.6"
"Lanabase"="0"

Out of that, I could paste together HostName and Domain to come up with 
mickey2.stac.com, which is the proper name for my system.  Is this standard 
setup, or specific to my PC?

BTW, I know 19.32 just became available for win95 in precompiled format.  Do 
you know if 19.33 will be available for win95 soon?  (Boy, I also wish 
someone would also precompile it for dos, since I need both flavors 
available, and I'm still stuck at 19.30 for dos... but I know that's not 
your baby.)
