No. I noted as per this announcement Lawrence Rust / Software Systems have now stopped developing several past products, however their products page clearly lists what is and is NOT still maintained.

I noted that in addition to the freeware SWSsock library, Lawrence has also kindly produced and maintains several other open source items which all support 32bit DOS builds:

SwsMtc - A multithreading library for C and C++ programs that is open source, cross platform, small footprint and high performance.

SimUtil is a cross platform, command line utility to load or save the mobile SIM card phone-book.

ScUtil is a cross platform, interactive command line utility that provides in-depth examination of ISO 7816 smart cards e.g. bank cards, mobile phone SIMs etc


So good find! Thanks Lawrence/Software Systems!
