    Yes, I'm positive that I've never installed the resolver libraries
on the system in question.  If you check out "man 3 resolver", you will find
documentation on the resolver functions with a final note at the end that
you need to use /usr/lib/libresolv.a in order to get them.  The system was
installed from a CD-ROM which claims to be SunOS 4.1.1 Rev B and a Revision
A January 1991 on the back of the jewel case.

    I've heard rumors in the past that there might be more then one
version of 4.1.1 CD-ROM.  This was with reference to the /usr/etc/fuser
command which some people don't seem to get on their system even if they ask
for everything to be installed.  (I certainly don't seem to have it on my
system.)
