Hey, I have a great idea about how you can get a Dos version of
lynx to use the winsocket dll under Windows.

First you write this `terminate and stay resident' Windows program
that does a LoadLibrary of the Winsocket dll, then builds a table
of function addresses for the winsocket library and uses `putenv'
to put the addresses out to the Dos environment.   The dll then
goes into a GetMessage loop (the TSR part), and you can then call
your Dos application, whose startup code goes to the environment
and finds these addresses.  On completion, the Dos app uses a
function call in the TSR to unload the dll and end the TSR.

Whoops, this is protected mode, and you can't use those addresses,
or can you?
