asked on
Windows Sockets version by DLL version?
Wondering if anyone knows what version of
Windows Sockets (1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 2.02) cooresponds
to which version of WINSOCK.DLL and WS2_32.DLL?
Specifically dll versions
4.00.950
4.00.1111
my ultimate question is what version of Windows Sockets shipped with Windows 95 Release A
Anyone?

Are you there?
I found my old (original "gold beta") CD of Win95. If you really must know, I'll extract Winsock.DLL and write some code to see which Socket version it supports.
I'll need 200 points and a guaranteed A to go through that hassle.

Thanks a bunch. We're writing an installer that =HAS= to function correctly on old-school w95 boxes and just wanted to be double-super paranoid. Thanks again!

If your question really is:
Q: How do I know when I need to dumb-down my app so that it can work on a system that supports only Windows Sockets version 1.0?
A: Use this function:
Messagebox(0,"You are still using Windows 95 without *any* service release upgrades!\n\n Here is the phone number of my competitor (I have no desire at all for your business):\n\n 1-800-555-GETALIFE", "What are you *thinking!* !?!?", MB_OK);
// Don't even try. Just suggest that your user upgrade to a reasonable level,
