Custom Controls for Windows Sockets

Trumpet Winsock DLL
-
They are working on a 32 bit DLL so 32 bit apps will be supported.

This site has a VBX and a 32-bit OCX. I've been using it myself for the past few
days, and it is pretty easy to use. I've had one GPF while using my IP's
software, and I have no idea what caused it.
wskudp
-
There is some other source code in this directory
SocketWrench/VB
-
A shareware VBX. No regsitration fee. They also sell SocketTools, which has FTP
and HTML controls in VBX/OCX. There is a short FAQ on TCP/IP programming.
winsock.bas (32 bit & 16 bit version)
-
This server is run by Steve Jacobs and due to his ISP's policies on charging,
the server is only up on the weekends (this is what he told me). There may be
others more widely available, please send me their addresses-but make sure they
are 32 bit & 16 bit versions in the SAME file!
[My note: The file is available
here, for those that can not access the other site]
The next two programs are for Excel 5, but they will be useful to VB & VC++
programmers. Personally, I like using add-ins cuz I can write a VBA program to
load/unload just what I need in the auto_open()/auto_close() macros of certain
spreadsheets. Just record a macro to see what code you need when using the
Add-In Manager under the Tools menu. Given the fact that Excel supports OLE
automation (as my friend Robert told me last night) these tools are available
for other apps to use, which makes the doubly useful.

This is site has a macro for Excel 5 which does Excel --> HTML 3.0 table
conversion. I haven't tried it, but the Web page is VERY good, and has a FAQ
complied from user's questions. Kudos & salutations to the author!
Excel 5 VBA Add-In for Excel --> HTML conversion
-
I have visited this site also, but haven't used the add-in. Again, this is a
VERY good Web site with plenty of support and suggestions. This is shareware,
with a nominal $7 fee. I encourage you to pay it if you plan to keep the add-in.
Kudos & salutations to the author!
Netscape OLE API
-
This is a page which covers OLE automation with Netscape. Other sites are
available of course, I just don't have them yet.
I got the following from the comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc FAQ (Part 1) which is
supposed to have some DOS TCP/IP stuff. I put this in because it has come up in
one of the groups this is posted to. If anyone has URLs and other info on
accessing the Internet from within DOS (not in a DOS window, but w/o Windows),
please email me. NOTE: The WWW URL evidently is not in the DNS database. I
didn't try the gopher & ftp URLs.
The Packet Driver, WinSock & TCP/IP CD-ROM is available from
CDPublishing for $29.95. This includes the packet drivers of course,
but also lots of other DOS and Windows TCP/IP stuff, including
Windows Sockets applications. It also includes the text of all
the RFCs. This is now somewhat out of date (it was cut in
December 1993), but is otherwise highly recommended.
CDPublishing, (604)874-1430, (800)333-7565, fax: (604)874-1431,
mail, ftp,
Gopher and
WWW
Here are the URLs for the comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc which contains some info
on DOS & TCP/IP.
