Winsock RCMD.DLL Version 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.
