Patch PE82-1909020
------------------

Platforms: All

* Fixed a problem where the Disconnect procedure could issue error
  2007, indicating that the connection no longer exists. This in turn
  could cause a subsequent Connect or Accept invocation to issue error
  2002 ("already connected").

  The Disconnect procedure now no longer issues error 2007, instead
  the connection is closed unconditionally. This also affects the
  CloseListen and Shutdown procedures.


Patch PE82-1501270
------------------

Platforms: All

* Fixed a problem when closing a listen socket. The CloseListen
  procedure could fail with an error (Windows).

* Added the Shutdown procedure to shut down all or part of a
  connection.

  CALL DLL Net("Shutdown", How)

  If how is 0, further receptions will be disallowed. If how is 1,
  further transmissions will be disallowed. If how is 2, further
  receptions and transmissions will be disallowed.


Patch PE82-1405231
------------------

Platforms: Windows

* Fixed a compatibility problem affecting Windows XP and Windows
  Server 2003. The Eloquence Net.DLL could fail with an "Access
  is denied" error message (#4168).
