IPXwrapper is a WinSock wrapper which transparently tunnels IPX packets over a

DLL files to the directory containing your legacy program.

If you are running Windows Vista or newer and the game uses DirectPlay you will

also need to import the directplay.reg registry key.

If you are running Windows Vista or later and the game uses DirectPlay you may
|

also need to import directplay-win32.reg or directplay-win64.reg as appropriate.

Most of WinSock 1.x is implemented, full WinSock 1.x support will eventually be
|
||||
finished and WinSock 2.x may be added if any software that actually requires it
|
||||
exists.
|
||||
|
||||
DirectPlay games are also supported, although the service provider is pretty new
|
||||
and lacks several features such as asynchronous I/O support.
|
||||
Software that uses WinSock 1.x and/or (Pre version 8) DirectPlay is supported.
