[AGENT++] Building Agent++ using BCC 5.0 in windows 2000

will be fixed in the next release...

The next release will use:
// We have inet_aton() function if not compiling with VC++ or Borland C++
#ifndef _MSC_VER
#ifndef __BCPLUSPLUS__
#define HAVE_INET_ATON
#endif
#endif

This is caused by the ? operator which returns either an OctetStr or a 
char*. Change the lines to:
...
     pdu.set_type(sNMP_PDU_GET);        // set pdu type

     OctetStr get_community;
     if (community)
       get_community = *community;
     else
       get_community = "public";

     int status = snmpmsg.load(pdu, get_community, version);
     if (status != SNMP_CLASS_SUCCESS)
...

I really would like to know if the old code is illegal or if the borland 
compiler is broken... ;-)
