Use the send() call here: same syntax, but with a fourth argument, which is
usually 0.

No perror under Win32.  Roll your own.  Example 10 in my FAQ (see link in
my signature) has a function that works roughly like perror, except that it
prints into a buffer instead of stdout, and only works with Winsock errors,
not general Win32 errors.

closesocket().

Given those changes, your code should compile under any sane Win32 compiler.

Good luck,
