We are using the Win32Ada bindings for the sockets implementation on
Win32 (WinNT/Win95).  These are pretty close to the Berkeley Sockets
(but there are a few minor differences).  You can get the bindings
from sw-eng.falls-church.va.us/public/source/bindings/win32ada
(or something like that).  If you have a slow net connection and/or
you're not really interested at all in the other i/f source, send
me email and I'll just send you the winsock package.
