[ace-users] Windows Socket problem

[Douglas C. Schmidt]

Hi Jeffrey,

>I am running Microsoft Visual C++ 2003 Version 7.1.3088 on Windows XP
>using ACE version 4.1 (This is the version my project is using so
>upgrading is not an option)

Please note that the DOC groups at Washington University, UC Irvine,
and Vanderbilt University only provide "best effort" support for
non-sponsors for the latest release, as described in

http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/~schmidt/DOC_ROOT/ACE/docs/ACE-bug-process.html

Thus, if you need more "predictable" help for earlier versions of
ACE+TAO, I recommend that you check out

http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/support.html

for a list of companies that will provide you with ACE+TAO commercial
support.

Thanks,

Doug
