WHAT IS WINSOCK MANAGER?

Winsock Manager is a tool for managing the use of the TCP/IP stacks on
your computer.  What this means is as follows; some internet service 
providers (ISPs) use a file called "winsock.dll" to connect you to the
internet - for example, AOL.  However, this allows you to use only one
ISP on your computer (because you can use only one "winsock.dll" at any
one time) and it also forces you to use the software provided by your
ISP.

Winsock Manager allows you to easily change between "winsock.dll" files
and so you can use more than one ISP (without having to spend time
configuring dial-up networking) and you can also you the software that you
want to.  For example, if you use AOL, you can browse the web with Netscape
or Microsoft Internet Explorer instead of the AOL browser.  The allows you
to customise you internet access to however you want it.

HOW TO USE WINSOCK MANAGER

All you have to do is type in the location of each "winsock.dll" file on
your system.  For example, you AOL "winsock.dll" should be located in your
AOL directory (C:\AOL30I for example).  Your default "winsock.dll" should
be located in C:\WINDOWS\winsock.dll (Windows 95) or
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\winsock.dll (Windows NT).  You can then add any other
"winsock.dll" of your choice in the custom winsock boxes.  This could be
a trumpet winsock or a compuserve winsock or whatever you choose.  After
you have entered the locations and created a name for them, you can change
them easily by selecting the one you want to use and clicking on 'use'.
