Yes, and in this page says that client support is for xp, 2k, nt, 98 and 95=
 ...
That is why i was wondering why he mentions the "modern getaddrinfo"
api for win xp only ... I am just confused.
I see that the function is defined in a different header for win < xp
... but is that all? i can deal with that with #defines ... right?
