The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK) versions 3.1, 3.5, 3.51, 4.0

SUMMARY

It is not possible to run 16-bit MS-DOS-based sockets applications under Windows NT or Windows 95. This is because the protocol stacks under Windows NT and Windows 95 use DLLs and do not expose an interrupt interface.

MORE INFORMATION

Please note that 16-bit MS-DOS-based applications are different from 32-bit console applications. It is possible to write sockets applications that make use of the winsock interface exposed by the protocol stacks under Windows NT and Windows 95. To do this, please refer to the Win32 SDK Winsock reference.

If you want to write 16-bit MS-DOS-based sockets application that run under Windows NT or Windows 95, contact the following company. They supply software (Virtual sockets library) that make it possible:
