Well, don't spend too much time on this request, I would be very surprized if anyone, ever, program something usefull using sockets in APL. I was just trying to allocate a socket to see if it is working or not (for testing purpose).

As for the particular values, I have to admit that I have no idea if they ever change. That said, I'd still prefer variables rather than strings. The values of the variables could be retrieved from a call into the .so and initialised on library load though.
