c++.windows.32-bits - socket lib file

Hello,
I am trying to write a simple socket program.
I am new to DMC.
In MS IDE I used to add wsock32.lib in the project settings.
From what I can gather in DM I need to have a lib file to import fn calls from
winsock.dll (I found this on my 2000 machine).
I wrote this lib file in Notepad (maybe naive!!) and tried:
link /implib winsock.lib c:\winnt\system32\winsock.dll
I got corruption error 138 - I think the format or something is wrong.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks...

I heard about this implib.exe, I guess its on the CD?
I couldn't find it in the download I got.
Maybe I looked in the wrong place.
