addict and user since my early days (I'm now 19 years old), and a FreeDOS
user since Beta 4. Nowadays, I'm primarily a GNU/Linux user (and wanna-be

To clarify: Wattcp and Watt/32 IS a tcp/ip stack, but you
do not INSTALL it. Instead, programs contain wattcp as part
of their binary. All Wattcp does use the same wattcp.cfg
file, though :-). Note that DOS has no tcp/ip stuff in the
operating system that could be compared to the tcp/ip stuff

of Linux or Windows. This means that for example you have
to wait until your app gets a new DHCP lease every time
when you start it, because no central networking driver
of the operating system would be around to cache that.
IIRC watt-32 (not sure about wattcp) caches this info in file

This is interesting. I've been waiting for the 1.0 Floppies to come out for
a very long time now. I'm not very experienced with such things, but I would
be glad to put a floppy distro together if someone gave me some advice.
Exactly how would I go about doing that?
