Ah. A blast from the past. Just because Dave Frank/Gemini wasn't
sucessful in getting what he was looking for from here doesn't mean that
nobody was "able" to help him. Eventually, multiple people in the
newsgroup declined to read or respond to his postings or otherwise
assist him.

He had a tendency to ask for inputs, selectively pick data that could be
misinterpreted to support his predetermined answers, and then cite
people who had provided the data as though they supported him. He also
seemed sure that his own frankly naive putterings made him more of an
expert on numerical analysis than.... well... pretty much anyone else;
actually reading what other people had done in the field was apparently
below him.

As Greg Lindahl said (in Jan 2001):

But before you consider sending Dave results, remember that
he'll use them to make gross generalizations, so you're much
better off ignoring him.

By the way, yes I have specifically used winsock with CVF. I mentioned
before doing such network stuff on WIndows, but I just checked and found
that at least one version of it was specifically winsock and CVF.
