To Anyone Who Knows, I've been trying to install several Internet-based programs onto my system, without much luck. The problem is that it has been about three years since I've seriously used my Amiga 2000 for anything other than games. I never learned AmigaDOS (although I have version 3.1), I can only do the basics with the shell (changing directories, listing, copying, dearchiving files, etc.), and if there isn't a working Install script, I'm lost. Anyway, my latest project is trying to install Grapevine, the IRC client. I have my AmiTCP 3.0b up and running, and I thought I installed the socket.library in the proper, but the program won't run. I generally get a message that says "Can't open socket.library. I don't know why. I've tried everything I could think of, like reading the docs, looking in my manuals for Amiga Dos. It all sounded surprisingly like Greek to me. So, I want to find out. I want to be able to use the computer to the best of my ability without posting panicked messages to the forum. My major fault in life is that I need thing explained to me oftimes. So, if anyone has the time, I'd appreciate some information, via the forum or through e-mail (102161,2461). Thank you in advance for any help I may get. I truly appreciate it. Sincerely, Derrick White
