Hello, I am trying to write a simple socket program. I am new to DMC. In MS IDE I used to add wsock32.lib in the project settings. From what I can gather in DM I need to have a lib file to import fn calls from winsock.dll (I found this on my 2000 machine). I wrote this lib file in Notepad (maybe naive!!) and tried: link /implib winsock.lib c:\winnt\system32\winsock.dll I got corruption error 138 - I think the format or something is wrong. Any help is appreciated. Thanks... LIBRARY winsock EXETYPE NT SUBSYSTEM CONSOLE EXPORTS _WSAStartup@8 = WSAStartup ; WSAStartup _connect@12 = connect ; connect _htons@4 = htons ; htons _inet_addr@4 = _inet_addr ; inet_addr _socket@12 = socket ; socket _WSACleanup@0 = WSACleanup ; WSACleanup

Use implib to create .lib files from .def files, not the linker. -Walter <john.mcloughlin@rocketmail.com> wrote in message news:afsm0b$2ebb$1@digitaldaemon.com... > Hello, > I am trying to write a simple socket program. > I am new to DMC. > In MS IDE I used to add wsock32.lib in the project settings. > From what I can gather in DM I need to have a lib file to import fn calls from > winsock.dll (I found this on my 2000 machine). > I wrote this lib file in Notepad (maybe naive!!) and tried: > link /implib winsock.lib c:\winnt\system32\winsock.dll > I got corruption error 138 - I think the format or something is wrong. > Any help is appreciated. > Thanks... > > LIBRARY winsock > EXETYPE NT > SUBSYSTEM CONSOLE > > EXPORTS > _WSAStartup@8 = WSAStartup ; > WSAStartup > _connect@12 = connect ; > connect > _htons@4 = htons ; > htons > _inet_addr@4 = _inet_addr ; > inet_addr > _socket@12 = socket ; > socket > _WSACleanup@0 = WSACleanup ; > WSACleanup > >

Thanks...
I heard about this implib.exe, I guess its on the CD?
I couldn't find it in the download I got.
Maybe I looked in the wrong place.
