If Wsock32.dll Is Missing

  installed, Windows is the directory in which Windows 95 is installed, and D
  is your CD-ROM drive. (Make the appropriate changes if your system differs.)

  NOTE: Wsock32.dll may be in win95_12.cab if you are extracting the file off of
  the Windows 95 compact disc. In this case, type:

     drive on which Windows 95 is installed, where Windows is the folder in
     which Windows 95 is installed, and where A is your floppy disk drive.

  b. If you have non-DMF disks, type "extract /L c:\<windows>\system
