Why?  That particular release is over seven years old
(and pre-dates our move to Source Forge).   It's not even
the most recent version on the 4.1.x line, quite apart from
the v4.2.x line which replaced it.

None of this code is under development any more.  All
support is aimed at the more recent releases (5.2.x and above)

Correct.
The v4 line was very IP-specific, and used the '-p' flag to
specify a particular UDP port.
The v5 line introduced a much more flexible transport mechanism,
and incorporated the port information (or equivalent end-point
specification for other transports) into the address string.

Correct.
Not all transports use numeric ports to listen on, so the '-p' flag was
withdrawn for the v5 line (over five years ago).

No.
The old v4 code used -p, the new v5 code uses a transport-independent
parameter.  You can't use exacty the same incantation for both.
