+If you wish to compile with the Socket extension, you need

+-lsocket locates the correct copy of socket3r.lib. Beware

+socket3r.lib which has very little functionality. Also
+beware the order in which wlink searches directories for
+libraries. You may have /usr/lib/socket3r.lib pointing to
+the correct library, but wlink may pick up
+/usr/watcom/10.6/usr/lib/socket3r.lib instead. Make sure
+they both point to the correct library, that is,
