 What: ceptcl
 Where: http://www.fivetones.net/software/
 Description: Provides a variety of new socket types and greater
        control over socket options.  Includes 
        Domains : local (AF_UNIX), inet4 (IPV4), inet6 (IPV6)
        Types   : tcp, udp, raw
        Options : boradcast, multicast, etc.
        ceptcl is designed to be backward compatible with
        existing Tcl socket apps.  It is intended that
        all you need to do to use ceptcl is to require the
        package and change the invocation of 'socket' to 'cep'.
        Tested on OpenBSD, MacOSX, NetBSD, Linux.
        Currently at version 0.3 .
