ipxemu
IPX protocol emulator using UDP/IP
===============================================================================
ipxemu emulates IPX so that programs can use IPX, while actually using UDP/IP.
This way one can for example play old games that only support IPX, without
actually using IPX.
How to use
===============================================================================
To provide IPX emulation for a program, one must copy one or more of the ipxemu
DLLs (dynamic-link libraries) to the directory of the program's executable. It
is important that the application is linked against the DLL for it to work.
For example, if one wants to provide IPX emulation for the game `Red Alert 2',
then one should copy the `wsock32.dll' library to the directory containing the
game's `game.exe' executable, as the `game.exe' executable links against
`wsock32.dll'.
See the `doc\games.html' document for information on which games were tested
with ipxemu and how to use ipxemu with them.
The `thipx32.dll' library uses UDP port 7460. The `wsock32.dll' library also
uses UDP, but the port used depends on the IPX socket number specified by the
application.
System requirements
===============================================================================
The following systems are supported:
* All Windows versions after Windows NT4.
* Windows NT4.
* Windows 9x (95, 98, Me).
* Or compatible (such as Wine).
On Windows 95, one must have the Winsock 2.0 update installed (which, among
others, installs `msvcrt.dll', `mswsock.dll', and `ws2_32.dll'). See
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/182108 for more information.
Known limitations
===============================================================================
The IPv4 protocol is used for emulating the IPX protocol. Currently, the newer
IPv6 protocol is unsupported.
