Oh, Turbo C. Long time no see (about ten years) ;-)
Add the DSock.lib file to the project. If I remember correctly, there is a window pane in the Turbo C environment with the files that the project is made up with. I think you can press the Insert key on the keyboard to add files there.

"The fast way to use DSock is to open start-up project of DSock example - 'DSock\Demo\DSock_AP.' "
/rob
I have opened the start up project using "tc dsock_ap.prj" (is that right) and i am presented with a file saying Turbo C project file. I basically have no idea what do with this as the options under project menu are Project name (blank??), Break make, Auto Dependencies, clear project and remove messages.
However in the complie menu (while the project is still open) I added DSock_AP.C as the primary c file which then allowed me to complie dsock_ap.c while only having the project open... I thought that would have been it...
Pressing the insert key only resulted in it changing the cursor style like it does in word processors such as word.
I am also worried by the fact that my menu stuctures are different to those described in Kdo's post...
In options i have Linker and Environment as seperate sections and neither contain a libraries options...
I have...
Options
>Compiler
>>Model
>>Defines
>>Code Generation
>>Optimization
>>Source
>>Errors
>>Names
>Linker
>>Map File
>>Initialize Segments
>>Default Libraries (On/Off, cant add here)
>>Graphics Library (On/Off)
>>Warn Duplicate Symbols
>>Stack Warning
>>Case Sensitive link
The environment menu just offers options relating to screen size and options such as auto save...
Is there not a config file i can add the library to? Libraries were easy to add in visual c.... grrr
I guess i'd better up the points a bit...
Please dont give up on me guys!!!

If you are not likely to use the IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for any projoects subsequent to this one, you probably don't want to clutter your brain cells with knowledge about the IDE. The IDE is a very fine tool for developing code, but for a one off project never to return to Turbo C, I'd recommend using the command line.
Here's how your command line might look if your project consisted of two source files:
tcc -ml -IC:\TC\INCLUDE -LC:\TC\LIB yourprog.cpp yourextr.cpp c:\DSOCK\LIB\DSOCK.LIB
Massage the paths to suit your system.
DSOCK.LIB is a large memory model library. You therefore need to specify the command line option -ml to compile your source with far pointers for code and data and to ensure that the linker pulls in the appropriate start-up code (c0l.obj) and system libraries (*l.lib).
I'm assuming you installed Turbo c++ in c:\tc and the executables tcc.exe and tlink.exe are on the path (c:\tc\bin\. if I remember rightly?). I am assuming that dsock.lib is in c:\DSOCK\LIB\.
Ill accept that... created a new prob which is going to bother me but i think ill start a new post for that...
The prob btw is no packet driver found which is odd because i have Microsoft Network Client 3.0 set up and that installed the packet drivers and i have been pinging all the machines in the room.... oh well, DSOCK came with some packet drivers so ill see if i can kill all the hardwork i did with the networking side of it all by installing them!!!
Thanks again everyone...

Hi zero303,
It has been a long time... I've forgotten exactly where the "files" menu is and I'm working from memory here. :( I can get to my Turbo C system about noon today (3+ hours from now). I'll look up the location and post it.
The project file allows you to "combine" several source files into a "project" and have them all compiled and linked together. In functionality, it is pretty close to a unix *make* file.
For now, go back to the "Project" tab and select "Clear Project". Otherwise you're likely to see even more bizarre behavior.
By the way, if your source file gets to be too big for the IDE (or you have other source modules that you want to include) you can create a simple project by:
1) Under the "Project" tab enter a name for your project such as "MYSTUFF".
2) Edit the file "MYSTUFF.PRJ" and list all of the files that you want to include. "MYPROG", "MYSUBR", "YOURSUBR", etc. each on a separate line.
3) Save "MYSTUFF.PRJ"
Now the IDE will make sure that MYPROG.C, MYSUBR.C and YOURSUBR.C are compiled whenever they are changed and all linked together into your executable. Note that the IDE won't recompile these modules just because a header file is changed! If you change a header file, delete all of the object files in your directory (*.o) and let the IDE rebuild all of the modules.

Hi zero303,
I got to the Turbo C environment at lunch.
If you'll go to "Options" / "Directories" you'll see an entry for "libraries". Append ";c:\DSOCK\LIB\DSOCK.LIB" to whatever is already in the line and the IDE should be able to build your program.
I'm making the same assumption as did rstaveley about the location of DSOCK.LIB.
Kent
I tried that, I have Options>Directories>Librar
What i have done is use rstaveley's method with success but i've just written a server.bat to save me typing in that command...
Thanks again guys... Usually my ancient questions dont get this big a response... Im sure ill have plenty more!!! ;)
