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.
