No, I tried this with gcl-2.6.8pre just checked out from cvs.

No, I only tested the lisp socket code, Martin wanted to know if the
socket code was usable on Windows. This is the piece of code I tested
(parts of Martin's code):

===================================================================
(defun mysocket (port docfun)
  (let ((s (si::socket port :server #'server)))
    (tagbody l
             (when (si::listen s)
               (let ((w (si::accept s)))
                 (server w)))
             (sleep 0.1)
             (go l))))


(defun server (s)
  (let* ((get (read s nil 'eof))
         (fn (and (eq get 'get)
                  (let* ((s1 (subseq (string (read s nil 'eof)) 1))
                         (n (length s1)) 
                         (s2 (make-string n)))
                    (do ((i 0 (incf i)) 
                         (j 0 (incf j))) 
                        ((= i n) (subseq s2 0 j)) 
                      (if (char= (char s1 i) #\%) 
                          (setf (char s2 j) 
                                (code-char (read-from-string 
                                            (concat "#x" 
                                                    (subseq s1 (incf i)
                                                            (1+ (incf i)))))))
                        (setf (char s2 j) (char s1 i))))))))



    (format t "Got ~S~%~%" fn) ; server side
    (format s "hello~%") ; client side
    (close s)))
========================================================================


Using telnet I was able to connect to the server ask a page and receive
the "hello". The rest of the job to support Windows should be
straightforward (if not already done). In fact the first thing to do is
to have a version of Axiom with correct databases that build on Windows.
This require some other tests, hmm... apparently this is what you're
doing Bill :-). I think that build-improvements produces correct
databases too but it has the probe-file problem (probe-file no longer
works on directory).
