Dear Brian,

I know the .bat file you are talking about. I think I have already set up the
environment variables as shown below. 

Set INCLUDE=D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit
2003\include;%INCLUDE%

I checked the include directory of the VC free toolkit. Winsock2.h is not
there. (Maybe someone else can help me to confirm this.) It seems that
Winsock2.h is not shipped in the free tool. :-(

I can see that the include path provided by cygwin has the winsock2.h file.
However, I encountered a lot of error messages when I try to use that file. 

In my humble opinion, it would be very helpful if your code can be compiled
using some public available free tools. That way, more people can get involved
in the development. 

Also, I can see that you want to extend your work to Linux. If that is the
case, trying to get your code compiled using MinW gcc on Windows may not be a
very bad idea. 

Look forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks a lot for the response. 

Best regards,
Jingzhao
