It is not too late to register your Trumpet Winsock.

@gloriouscow For some reason I thought Peter Tattam passed away a few years ago... guess not :o.
Anyways, Trumpet Winsock is weird to me- you start it as a DOS TSR and afterwords it "does the right thing" once you start Win 3.x without Windows destroying its data structures. I wonder how that's managed (if I had infinite time, I'd disassemble it to find out)?
@cr1901 Hm, looks like there was an earlier "Trumpet TCP" that was a TSR. I don't recall a TSR element to Trumpet Winsock, but I could be wrong.

@gloriouscow My memory isn't infallible (as much as I wish it was). I would need to look at files I haven't touched in 15 years to check, but I still have them.
IIRC, I ran Trumpet in a HAL-9000 build of DOSBOX w/ NE2000 and Win 3.x (I know that's not supported, but I didn't care at the time lmao). And to get Trumpet to work, I had to start a TSR before starting Win 3.x.

Wikipedia is telling me that Trumpet Winsock 1.0A was released in February of 1994. Windows 95 came out in late August of 1995.
18 months. I would have sworn I spent years exploring the internet on Windows 3.1. Memory is a funny thing.
@gloriouscow neural years

@gloriouscow WAIT. Is it called Trumpet Winsock because he played a trumpet back then, or did he start playing the trumpet AFTER Winsock?
