Winsock RCMD32.DLL Version History
----------------------------------

RCMD.DLL (16-bit) History
-------------------------

Version 1.0  -  Initial Release

Version 1.1  -  Minor changes.
 (11/30/94)

Version 1.2  -  RCMD.DLL would only allow a host name to be used, not an
 (12/13/94)     IP address (i.e., a dotted-decimal address of the host).  For
                example, using a host of "89.0.0.8" would result in a
                "Record Not Found" error from Windows Sockets.

                This occurred because the Windows Sockets "gethostbyname()"
                function only allows host names to be specified, unlike Unix,
                which allows both IP addresses and host names.  RCMD.DLL now
                determine whether or not you have specified a host name or IP
                address and adjusts accordingly.

Version 1.3  -  DLL now uses the large model.
 (12/30/94)

Version 1.4  -  Retries up to ten times when Connection Refused error received
 (01/16/95)     from Windows Sockets.

Version 1.43 -  Added retry on Shutdown and Timeout errors.  Added two options
 (01/30/95)     that can be placed in the [RCMD] section of WIN.INI:

                  RetryError:  Set this to the Windows Socket error number
                               (usually between 10000 and 11000) that you
                               want Winsock RCMD.DLL to retry on when
                               received when trying to connect to the remote
                               host.  This number should be POSITIVE, even
                               though the Winsock RCMD.DLL error window shows
                               it as negative.

                  RetryCount:  The number of times Winsock RCMD.DLL should
                               retry when the Connection Refused, Shutdown,
                               Timeout, or the error specified in the
                               RetryError configuration option is received.
                               The default is ten (10) times.

Version 1.50 -  Added additional retries for Trumpet.  Updated manual to show
 (03/01/95)     how to use rexecd and passwords in addition to rshd.


RCMD.DLL (32-bit) History

 (06/05/95)     jumps to 1.70 to be consistent with other products.

Version 1.71 -  Changed functions to use PASCAL (_stdcall) calling convention
 (08/16/95)     instead of C (_cdecl).  VB 4.0 requires PASCAL convention.
