The changes are - adding some constants - adding some additional system calls So it should be clear what the are doing and should not affect systems not supporting SCTP. So should I code against the 1.6.4 socket.c file or the one in the CVS? Do I have better chances to get the stuff into 1.6.5 when coding against the 1.6.4 version? Best regards Michael On 1.
