Dear alt.comp.microsoft.windows,

Apropos of nothing, I have just received a brand new copy of
/Programming WinSock/ (1995) by Arthur Dumas.  It even has the
diskette at the back, unopened.

I'm not sure when I get to direct Winsock programming, plus I don't
understand why the title of the book is "WinSock" when I thought the
name was more properly "Winsock" or "winsock," but based on prior
experience with this book in a library, it's readily adaptable to
winsock2.

As far as I know, there's never been a book about winsock2 programming,
so I mean to use this one, when the time comes.  As it happens in life,
the project I was thinking of when I ordered it got put on the back-
burner, and it may take a few months, and hopefully not a few years,
before I'll pick it up.


I just hoped you enjoyed this minor anecdotal episode of Windows
programming, and rest assured, everything was typed by hand and no
LLM was involved.  Have a nice Windows day!
