Hi, John.

I got your note; thanks for the pointer (no pun intended....:-) to where the real problem is: in features.h

Let me have a go with defining _NO_NEW_FUNC_CHECK. I'll let everyone klnow what happens.

Dave,

The trouble is over in FEATURES H.  Look in your VM reader.

Alan, it looks like the function is defined as an external structure;
hence the error messages.  I have already written to Mikey.

Cheers,

John,

Sorry about that, I should have made that clear in my first note ...I am
using the "new" socket support provided by z/VM 5.2 LE, and not the
older support provided with the TCP/IP product. The TCPMAINT 592 mdisk
is not accessed when I attempt my C compile.

I also attempted to understand the netdb.h file (on the Y disk) and got
completely lost. Hopefully, someone from C or LE development can point
me in the right direction on this issue.

Thanks again.

DJ
