Description:

SocketFS is a filing system which provides/allows TCP/IP sockets 
to be manipulated as RISC-OS files. This filesystem can be used
to add a more Unix like feel to some socket operations under
RISC-OS, as well as providing a simpler interface to the internet
modules for those writing simple applications.
