-- INTRODUCTION --
|
|
|
|
IPXwrapper is a winsock wrapper which transparently tunnels IPX packets over IP
|
|
using UDP port 54792. To use it, simply copy ipxwrapper.dll, wsock32.dll and
|
|
mswsock.dll to the directory containing your legacy program.
|
|
|
|
DO NOT REPLACE THE WINSOCK DLLS THAT ARE IN YOUR WINDOWS/SYSTEM32 DIRECTORY AS
|
|
THIS WILL BREAK ALL NETWORKING SOFTWARE ON YOUR SYSTEM!
|
|
|
|
Software using IPXWrapper can't contact machines that are using the real IPX
|
|
protocol, all systems must use IPXWrapper or the IPX protocol.
|
|
|
|
-- COMPATIBILITY --
|
|
|
|
Most of winsock 1.x is implemented, but some software still may not work because
|
|
it uses unimpletmented functionaliy. I plan to complete winsock 1.x support
|
|
eventually, winsock2 is unlikely, as the API is far bigger and any winsock2
|
|
program should be using IP anyway.
