	I'm sorry of this has been asked before, but
I need to know just what libraries are available for DOS
which emulate UNIX sockets.

	The situation is this:

We are running a research experiment which uses sockets to connect to
a central monitor on the net. Currently we have  it ported to several
machines, including DOS using the Wollongong WIN/API.  This of course
means that everyone that wishes to participate in the experiment
from a PC need to already have this package to compile and link in
there own parts of the program.  It is to our advantage to make 
this experiment software available to as many people as possible.
Ideally, we would like a set of libs and drivers which we could 
distribute with our package (our package is free for the taking, not
in any way commercial).  Failing this, we would like to port it
to as many socket implementations (that others are likely to have) 
as possible.
