This macro enables the use of older version of TCP/IP headers, like those that
were available on OS/2 before eComStation and OS/2 Warp Server of eBusiness.

The older headers use a 16 bits interface to tcp/ip (on OS/2 device drivers
are 16 bit protect mode apart from some newer ones) instead of the newer at 32
bits. But nearly all network cards still use 16 bits drivers, so, in the end,
you talk using 16 bits with your network interface.

Thanks.

Maurilio.

PS. That define is not enough to _build_ harbour, you also need to have the
PATH enviroment set so that the 16bits socket library comes before the 32bits
one, otherwise it won't build. But as soon as it is built, it will work on all
systems.
