Does WinVNC Use Windows wsock.dll?

Could I join in on this question, please.  I have been using
Trumpet Winsock instead of the Microsoft winsock under Windows 95,
and I can't run VNC at all.  I get a "failed to initialise sockets"
error message.  If I put the Microsoft files in place, VNC works (but
of course Trumpet doesn't).  Trumpet works fine, both for dialup and
ethernet, with the Eudora mailer, WS_FTP, the Netterm telnet client and
other standard winsock clients.

Can anyone explain whether it's a matter of not finding the files in the
right places (Trumpet puts its files in a different directory and sets
the path to look there in autoexec.bat), or whether there are
Microsoft-specific socket calls involved?
