I did some socket programming on win32 recently and also first looked at 
the Sockets unit.
I think that you are right that this unit is meant to be a cross 
platform unit. But I found that it didn't work on win32, may be be 
hasn't been finished yet. So I used the Winsock unit, which makes it 
possible to call the win32 API's as documented by microsoft.
