Hi!

I am trying to build a simple concurrent TCP server using gnuwin32 in a
Win95 environment. In the Unix way, the server listen to a port, accept
it and fork a child process to handle the accepted socket. I tried the
same thing in gnuwin32. However, I alwasy get a error when a error
"descriptor is a file, not a socket" whenI tried to use this socket in
the child process(select,recv, etc).

I would like to know whether passing a child process inherit the socket
handle from the parent in gnuwin32/Win95. 

Thanks!
