WSHSMPLE – Winsock Helper DLL

SUMMARY

This sample is a Windows Sockets Helper DLL. Provides the transport-specific support necessary for the Windows Sockets DLL to use TCP/IP as a transport. This helper dll requires a transport to be functional and should be installed as part of the transport install, thus it does not need an INF file. This sample was based from a snapsot of the Windows NT 4.0 helper DLL for TCP/IP and is supplied as an example of how to interface a transport to Winsock. It does not support and does not need to support plug and play or power management.

BUILDING THE SAMPLE

Run the build command from this directory to build the sample, or build it using Visual C 6.0. This sample can be used on both x86 and alpha platforms. All the files in this directory are required, and it produces a single file: WSHSMPLE.DLL. Both checked and free builds can be built. It has not been determined whether the sample is 64-bit compliant.
