SocketOpener
Version: 1.1
Release date: 2000-12-01
Licence: LGPL 2.1
Maintainer: Wayne Conrad <wconrad@yagni.com>

The SocketOpener class opens sockets with timeout.  JDK 1.1 does not
allow sockets to be opened with timeout; this class is a workaround.

Required:
	* JDK 1.1 or greater

Optional:
	* JUnit (www.junit.org)
	* make.  GNU make (www.gnu.org) is known to work.

Known problems:

Under Win32 JDK 1.1.5 (and probably in other versions of Java on other
platforms), when a timeout occurs a phantom thread gets left behind
for a while.  That's because stopping a thread that is blocked on i/o
does not take effect immediately.

The first time I run the test, it takes a long time (30 seconds).  The
second time, it completes quickly (a second or two).  I think it has
something to do with name resolution on the non-existent host the test
is using.
