Windows Socket Webster client

Description
-----------
   WinWebster is a webster client for accessing a network webster
server.  Specify a server host and port in the options dialog and
hopefully you can access the Webster Server Dictionary over the net.

   Enter a word in the input edit control.  Click on 'Define' to
get a definition for that word.  If you're unsure of the spelling
of a word, type in the first bit and click on 'Complete' or
'Endings'.  Endings fills the Word List with a list of words that
you can scroll through.  Complete tries to finish the word for you.
If you click on 'Thesaurus' you get (surprise) the thesaurus entry
for the word in the input line.

   WinWebster is PostcardWare(tm).  As such you can use the program
for evaluation purposes for 14 days, if you like it and continue
using it you MUST send me a postcard under penalty of THE LAW.
Please address the postcard to,

If you really really like the program you can send money instead!
I will NOT complain, honest.

FIXES
-----
   - Fixed a problem with certain winsock stacks not being able
     to connect() to the server.  The problem had to do with stack
     data no being properly cast in the call to connect() - only
     in dos, eh.
   - Removed the code which does a getportbyname() call since this
     info should preferably be set with each host individually.

BUGS
----
   - have to specify the server as a numeric IP address
   - some webster servers do not support the INDEX keyword.  This
     will give an error but still seems to work.
