Re: Compile Warnings.

The difference is probably that your new host is running a 64-bit kernel.

Make sure size is defined as a socklen_t.  That's the convention on
Linux and BSD.

Unixes that don't have a TCP stack based on BSD's differ on the type
of pointer that goes there, and unsigned int was the most portable
thing to do before 64-bit machines came around.

As for the weird quote characters, I have no idea.  It looks like
UTF-8 flattened to ASCII (on account of the multiple bytes in the
extended-ascii range for each character).  What apps are you copying
them from and to?
