Unfortunately it simply ain't the same thing. It is unlikely there will
ever be a libsocket for WinSock2 as: 1) no one can get a hold of the specs
for it. 2) I have heard rumors that WinSock2 cannot be accessed through
a DOS session (neither DPMI nor Real-Mode). As to whether the second is
true or not, I haven't found anyone that knows.
