i've had a few difficulties in using code compiled (using vc++6) from the 2.5.1 distribution, for a socket-based app.

in win98, the Socket::setBroadcast function fails to work; it seems to work only if the last argument to setsockopt is given as '4' (the size of an int, rather than a bool)

also, the construction of a UDPDuplex object throws an exception (the 'Disconnect()' function called by the constructor doesn't work).

i expect i am doing something stupid; could someone give me some help?
