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.
