WSAdata_size works for me since it is defined as WSAdata in my include
file. This is the WIN32N.INC i used:

Win32.inc for NASM 1999 version 0.06 by Tamas Kaproncai [to...@sz...]
MD5: FF818A0C2C2D76E8F68D3DDA1E7676BD  WIN32N.INC

And WSAdata is defined as:

STRUC WSAdata
.wVersion 		RESW 1
.wHighVersion 	RESW 1
.szDescription 	RESB WSADESCRIPTION_LEN+1
.szSystemStatus	RESB WSASYS_STATUS_LEN+1
.iMaxSockets 	RESW 1
.iMaxUdpDg 		RESW 1
.lpVendorInfo	RESD 1
ENDSTRUC

mine seems older so i will probably end useing one of those you
mentioned above.

i absolutely agree! but i'm clueless which one is to be used. i just
want to use nasm from the commandline paired with whatever linker fit's.
with as less tools and extra stuff added as possible.

so, as i know nothing about all those packages you mentioned, but will
satrt google soon, i'm interested which you will recommend.

later
