!Netlib - The Network C Programmers Interface
---------------------------------------------
!Netlib provides a BSD 4.3 function call library for
programmers to use in Internet:o.netlib.
Standard C network headers are provided and should be
included as usual within your programs. The headers
are actually those from BSD 4.4 with some structs
regressed to be BSD 4.3 compatible.
If you have any corrections or additions to Netlib then
please send them to me (amell@cup.cam.ac.uk) for
inclusion in the next version. If everyone does this then
the library will be continuously improved and hopefully
duplicity can be avoided when writing future network
applications.

I've added the module version and corrected some of the
header files too and called this version 2.

I've made an alteration to the application versions of
the object files to prevent errno corruptions when using
callbacks.

----
I've added arpa/nameser.h in order to provide constants and buffer defns
for nameserver access. I've corrected netinet/tcp.h to fix a wrong
macro definition. resolv.h has also been added
Also, there are more versions built now.
NetLib:o.NetLib Standard version for applications
NetLib:o.NetLibH as above, but without gethostbyname/addr SWI veneer
NetLib:o.OnlySock as above, but without gethostbyname/addr code
NetLib:o.NetLibzM Standard version for relocatable modules
NetLib:o.NetLibHzM as above, but without gethostbyname/addr SWI veneer
NetLib:o.OnlySockzM as above, but without gethostbyname/addr code
If you are linking with my dnsquery library, then you should link your
application with the appropriate OnlySock version, not the full thing.
This version corrects the errno bug, which my earlier fixes had managed
to still avoid correcting :-(
