How is that implemented? I don't see it in the code. Where is
that implemented below?
Also the two tests for ws32_handle and wsock32_handle look reversed.
cgf
LoadDLLinitfunc (wsock32)
{
 extern void wsock_init ();
 HANDLE h;
 if ((h = LoadLibrary ("wsock32.dll")) != NULL)
 wsock32_handle = h;
 else if (!wsock32_handle)
 api_fatal ("could not load wsock32.dll. Is TCP/IP installed?");
 else
 return 0; /* Already done by another thread? */
 if (!ws2_32_handle) 	/* IS THIS CORRECT? */
 wsock_init ();
 return 0;
}
LoadDLLinitfunc (ws2_32)
{
 extern void wsock_init ();
 HANDLE h;
 if ((h = LoadLibrary ("ws2_32.dll")) == NULL)
 return 0; /* Already done or not available. */
 ws2_32_handle = h;
 if (!wsock32_handle) 	/* IS THIS CORRECT? */
 wsock_init ();
 return 0;
}
