I wonder if the someone has considered implementing sockets into djgpp.
It would be fine to have such. With the new multitasking features of go32
their implementationis no longer so far off.

It would of course mean that the runtime library be extended (read & write
must be operable then on sockets, too). Sockets are accessed by socket
descriptors. Sockets without the select() system call are only half worth
the effort. It would be near to impossible to do that within the
Turbo-C runtime environment.

These were just some preliminary thoughts. Any input propelling the
discussion would be welcome.
