Yes.  I used the Pascal Winsock unit available as:
   ftp://mirrors.aol.com/pub/cica/pc/win3/programr/tp/pasock10.zip
see below!

Keep one eye on the Winsock.doc that comes with it as there are some
mistakes in the pascal interface with data types to pass (pointers or not).
There is also at least one mistake in my version of winsock itself,
so test everything!

I found the Winsock interface unnecessarily complicated for my purpose.
(Teaching a beginners programming course in high school.)  So I've written
my own interface for accessing TCP sockets.  It immitates the amiga TCP
interface which I'm used to with only 5 functions:  OpenTCP, ReadTCP,
WriteTCP, CheckTCP, and CloseTCP.  Would anyone else out there be
interested in this unit?

Hi Franz, thanks for the interest.

A couple of people expressed an interest, so I'll post it on my Website.
However, I left the debugged source code at school and I want to tidy
it up a little more.  So I won't be uploading it until Monday night
(Pacific Time ! 8^)

The specific URL for downloading will be:
