**** README **** Installation Instructions for SocktSpy...Socket Spy/32 Trace/debugger for Winsock 1.1 Socket Spy/32 is a trace/debugging system designed for developers of WINSOCK version 1.1 communications applications. It provides tracing capabilities for monitoring API socket calls between the application and the communications system. The spy window displays API calls in real-time and may be configured with various filters and traps to isolate design problems. The Socket Spy/32 system generally requires that the user application be linked using WNTCH32.LIB rather than WSOCK32.LIB, however, the capability exists for launching a 100% WINSOCK VER 1.1 COMPLIANT application from the Spy window without re-linking. There are five files associated with the Socket Spy/32 trace application: SOCSPY32.EXE SOCSPY32.HLP The executable and help file for monitoring Winsock API calls from an application under test. These files may be installed in any disk directory. WNTCH32.DLL WNTCH32B.DLL Debugger & Trace dlls for intercepting Winsock API calls. These files should reside in the same directory as the installed WSock32.dll, (normally \Windows or \Windows\System). WNTCH32.LIB Import library for linking user application with trace dll. Additional disk files are contained with the shareware distribution .zip file representing various trace operations obtained by the author for demonstration purposes. The files have the extension .spy and may be examined by using the SocSpy32 File Open menu option.
