I'm in the repair business and when I have to replace an HD, I have to
reinstall it on anything from a 486/66 to a Pentium 133.

I have 3 different winsock.dll files on my system, it's where they are and
for what job they need that you have to keep straight. I.E., the
Compuserve winsock must be in the Cserve folder and the 16-bit version must
be in a folder with the old 16-bit apps. The 32-bit one must be in
Windows/system subfolder, and not in Windows itself. If the 32-bit winsock
is open, the 16-bit jobs will use it. If not, they try to use the 16 bit
version and bring up Trumpet.

And to stay on topic, Souper will actually start up the 32-bit winsock and
therefore open my TCP/IP dialer.

Hey they are great machines, if you paint targets on them and use them for
shotgun practice!
