RE: Compile Warnings.

I'll check the socklen_t. Thanks for the idea. Could it be a 64-bit =
kernel, even though it's got a 32-bit (AMD Athlon XP 3000+) processor?

I am copying out of SecureCRT from being SSH'd into the box. It shows =
that way in the SSH window. I think it shows that way at the console as =
well. The ~ and (tm) aren't there, but the aE is... It's more an =
annoyance than a requirement. Thanks for any input though.

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?
