You're opening "winsock.dll".
That's the short form. The long form includes the information
that "Winsock.dll" is a 16-bit DLL; it is a particularly
egregious form of self-abuse to attempt to open a 16-bit DLL if
you're a 32-bit process - and in Euphoria, you are. Try opening
"WSOCK32.DLL" instead.

Thanks Jeff. I found Winsock 32 at the Microsoft site.
Now I can open it.
Jesus.
