Thanks, if inet_addr() returns an unsigned 4-byte integer, why does the API documentation say inet_addr() returns signed "-1" if the API is unsuccessful?

[G.Gaunt]

Does an API exist that converts dotted decimal IP address into hexadecimal? For example:<pre>200.201.202.203 => x'C8C9CACB'</pre>

You're right, the prototype I gave is wrong. It should specify 10i 0 for the return value. Thanks for catching it. Tom Daly
