LYNX SUPPORT FOR SOCKETSHR/NETLIB			28-AUG-1996

---------------------------------

What is SocketShr?

------------------

SOCKETSHR is Eckhart Meyer's socket library interface to the MadGoat NETLIB

package, which provides a vendor-independent interface to the VMS TCP/IP

transports.  Using this, the same image will run over any of the available

packages, including UCX, Multinet, CMU, Pathway access and TCPWARE.

SocketShr and NETLIB are separately available libraries that MUST be installed

before LYNX can use them.

Preliminary Setup of SOCKETSHR

------------------------------

Once SOCKETSHR has been installed, TWO logical names should be defined:

    SOCKETSHR 		Point to the appropriate shareable image

    SOCKETSHR_LIBRARY	Point to the directory containing SOCKETSHR.H

    			and IOCTL.H

Both should be defined /system /exec

Building LYNX

-------------

Run the BUILD.COM procedures and select the SOCKETSHR_TCP option.  This will

build an image that will run over the SOCKETSHR/NETLIB routines.
