@gloriouscow For some reason I thought Peter Tattam passed away a few years ago... guess not :o.

Anyways, Trumpet Winsock is weird to me- you start it as a DOS TSR and afterwords it "does the right thing" once you start Win 3.x without Windows destroying its data structures. I wonder how that's managed (if I had infinite time, I'd disassemble it to find out)?

@cr1901 Hm, looks like there was an earlier "Trumpet TCP" that was a TSR. I don't recall a TSR element to Trumpet Winsock, but I could be wrong.

@gloriouscow My memory isn't infallible (as much as I wish it was). I would need to look at files I haven't touched in 15 years to check, but I still have them.

IIRC, I ran Trumpet in a HAL-9000 build of DOSBOX w/ NE2000 and Win 3.x (I know that's not supported, but I didn't care at the time lmao). And to get Trumpet to work, I had to start a TSR before starting Win 3.x.
