+    On VMS, the ftp function does not work with SOCKETSHR 0.9D and NETLIB
+    2 (NETLIB 1 may work).  This is because the functions getsockname()
+    and getpeername() within SOCKETSHR make incorrect calls to the NETLIB
+    functions.  This results in zeroes being returned for part of the local
+    IP address.  Since ftp sends this IP address to the remote end, the
+    remote server ends up sending a file back to a non-existent address.
+    Andy Harper (A.HARPER@kcl.ac.uk) has fixed these problems in the
+    SOCKETSHR 0.9D sources and offers the fixes as:
