{{Quickfixn}} Setting non QuickFix fields

[Grant Birchmeier]

Ha, I know exactly which counterparty are working on.  :)  I'm starting the
corresponding work on my client's app right now.  (Mine is QF/j, though.)

Try creating a new StringField object and passing that into SetField(),
e.g.   new StringField(9006,"0")  (You could use a BooleanField instead, I
guess, but it doesn't really matter.)

I think that will work.

More generally, though, I'm a big fan of regenerating the QF source and
building a custom QF library that will include all my custom classes and
correct repeating groups.
