Thanks!

Btw, a solaris system I have access to declares the function as follows
(in system arpa/inet.h):

#if !defined(_XPG4_2) || defined(_XPG6) || defined(__EXTENSIONS__)
extern int inet_pton(int, const char *_RESTRICT_KYWD, void *_RESTRICT_KYWD);
extern const char *inet_ntop(int, const void *_RESTRICT_KYWD,
                        char *_RESTRICT_KYWD, socklen_t);
#endif /* !defined(_XPG4_2) || defined(_XPG6) || defined(__EXTENSIONS__) */

Would setting any of those defines, to get the system's prototypes, be
the right thing?
