Now that USOCKET has UDP sockets and this question comes up, it's probably time for me to explain how I envisioned the future of USOCKET. In my mind, early on with USOCKET when I didn't know it was feasible to create UDP support on all platforms, I envisioned a USOCKET library (which looked very much like what we have now) and a UUDP library. The latter would implement the name resolution routines (a small DNS client) missing in so many platforms, much like Allegro implements one. The above is also the reason I never exported the name resolution routines from USOCKET and implemented USOCKET to take all forms of IPv4 addresses known at that time. Hope that adds to the discussion.
