Information about the program
Version 1.5, which is the current release, is an all C++ release. It's written under Optima++ v1.0 (nice!). It talks directly to winsock v1.1. Optima execs, unfortunately, requires that you install Win32S in order to function properly under Windows 3.x and Windows for Workgroups 3.x.
