Duh!!! As the author of the comic strip Pogo so famously wrote, "We Have Met
the Enemy and he Is Us."  I did it to myself again.

Port number was coded in two places in the code I was porting and I only
changed one to 2021.   I was able to determine this by following Mark's
suggestion and compiling it on Windows 2000. The Windows 2000 error message
provided more information about what the problem was.   The problem was
quickly solved by making the same change in both places and the code now
runs on MPE.

Thanks Mark.
