But are they operational? There are several conditional
defines in socket.c, ending with:

   #else
       rb_notimplement();
       return Qnil;                /* not reached */
   #endif

My impression was that my friend was getting the "not implemented"
message... but I see now that the return is marked "not reached."

Hmm, maybe a compile error on his box?

Anyhow, are these methods documented anywhere?

Thanks,
Hal
