I guess this file should just be removed.
Can anyone confirm that the built-in open-network-stream is supported
on all platforms now? If that is so, tcp.el and lib-src/tcp.c can
indeed be deleted.

make-network-process is still conditioned by HAVE_SOCKETS, so
there may still be systems where it is not available.
But since lib-src/tcp.c itself depends on sockets, I don't see why
make-network-process cannot be made available on those systems.

It isn't on Mac, but that doesn't have asynchronous processes for the
code to use. (I'd somehow missed tcp.c in the distribution, so I
thought it couldn't be in use anyway.) If it really is useful, please
let me know, so I can reinstate the support it had in the url library.

You could be saying that tcp.el is useless on the Mac, but I am not
sure. Could you clarify the statement? Can anyone tell us for certain
whether tcp.el is of use on the Mac?

Mac OS X has built-in open-network-stream support. So tcp.el is not
used there.
Mac OS 8 or 9 has neither built-in open-network-stream nor
start-process support. So the definition of open-network-stream in
tcp.el *cannot* be use there.

That's what I meant.
