Windows 95 and up has a TCP/IP stack built in, but Windows 3.1 does
not. As far as I know, the only practical winsock for Windows 3.1 is
the shareware Trumpet Winsock. But I thought the following from the
alt.winsock FAQ (http://www.faqs.org/faqs/windows/winsock-faq/) might
help explain things:
-------- begin excerpt --------
WINSOCK.DLL actually acts as a "layer" between your WinSock
applications and your TCP/IP stack. Your WinSock applications tell
WINSOCK.DLL what to do, WINSOCK.DLL translates these commands to your
TCP/IP stack, and your TCP/IP stack passes them on to the Internet!
But the most important thing for you to remember about WINSOCK.DLL is
that the WINSOCK.DLL you're using must match the version of TCP/IP
that you're running. Don't assume that because all WinSocks are called
WINSOCK.DLL that they're all the same--they're not. So, for example,
if I'm using Microsoft's TCP/IP, I can't use Trumpet Winsock.
---------- end excerpt --------------
Pegasus Mail is freeware. If your copy is incomplete, just go to
www.pmail.com and download the latest 16-bit version, which is 3.12b.
I've been using Pegasus Mail for years.
