Re: My Gnat is rusty - link error

["Marin David Condic" <dont.bother.mcondic.auntie.spam@[acm.org>]

I believe you have to specify either a linker option or put the following
pragma into your code somewhere:

    pragma Linker_Options ("-lwsock32") ;

Putting it in the code will make it harder to forget. :-)

Hope this helps.
