You can use Waterloo TCP/IP library (WATTCP), not WinSock. TP5 works in DOS
_only,_ so only DOS TCP/IP implementations are available. I don't know if
there're any interface units for using WATTCP in TP, but I'm sure that they
exist. And another thing: WATTCP uses so-called 'packet drivers' for network
communications, so it will _not_ work in Windows.
So, if you wanna run your program under Windows, especially NT, you should
write your program in BPW 7.0 or Delphi.
