IPXwrapper is a WinSock wrapper which transparently tunnels IPX packets over a
chosen UDP port (54792 by default). To use it, simply copy the four included
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.

-- COMPATIBILITY --
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.
