API and SPI specification documents, and version 2.0.2 of the

Protocol-Specific Annex.  It also includes a document which

describes the debugging and trace capabilitiles built into

			Specific Annex

The WinSock 2 specifications and ancillary documentation are created in 

Microsoft Word for Windows version 6.0.  If you do not have access to 

Word for Windows, you can still view and print these documents by obtaining 

a free copy of Microsoft Word Viewer. 



Microsoft Word Viewer is a small application that enables Word users to 

share their documents with people who do not use Microsoft Word for Windows. 

Word Viewer allows users to view and print Word documents exactly as they 

appear in Word. It gives users the flexibility to view page layout, zoom, outline, 

headers/footers, footnotes, and annotations. Word Viewer allows users to read 

and print Word documents, but it does not allow them to edit documents. Users 

may, however, copy information from Word documents and activate OLE objects 

embedded within them.



A free copy of Microsoft Word Viewer can be obtained from the following sources:
