This logic is compiling but I get a program error while trying to run. Does anyone notice anything incorrect with this logic.

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

WSADATA ws;
int d;
char aa[100];
struct sockaddr_in a;
SOCKET s;
int ii;
struct hostent *hent = gethostbyname("yahoo.com");

void abc(char *p){
    FILE *fp = fopen("c:\\getThatPage.txt","a+");
    fprintf(fp,"%s\n",p);
    fclose(fp);
}

int STDCALL WinMain (HINSTANCE i, HINSTANCE j, char *k, int l){

        d = WSAStartup(0x101,&ws);
        sprintf(aa," WSASTARTUP = %d",d);
        abc(aa);
        s = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,0);
        sprintf(aa," SOCKET = %d",s);
        abc(aa);
        a.sin_family = AF_INET;
        a.sin_port = htons(80);
        a.sin_addr.s_addr = ((struct in_addr *)(hent->h_addr))->s_addr;
        d = connect(s, (struct sockaddr *)&a, sizeof( a));
        strcpy(aa, "GET / \r\n");
        strcat(aa, "HTTP 1.0 \r\n\r\n");
        send(s,aa,sizeof(aa),0);
        ii = 1;
        while (ii != 0)
        {
            ii = recv(s,aa,100,0);
            abc(aa);
        }
           WSACleanup();
}

I have also linked the wsock32 file: -lwsock32

Thank you,
Daniel Watson

struct hostent *hent = gethostbyname("yahoo.com");

that call takes place before WSAStartup(...).
