I'm getting a strange error from the C side when I drive a
NeWS program on the Silicon Graphics Iris workstation with
cps.  The program runs perfect on a Sun-4 workstation.  Worse, 
the * example * program given in the Iris manual (a copy of 
the Sun example) bombs in the same exact way on two different
Iris workstations.

Basically, the loader dies with the error message "inet_addr
undefined"--as if it were looking for an Internet address!
The NeWS code itself works * fine * on both the Sun and the
Iris.  It's * just * when I use the C driver that it tries to
look for "inet_addr".  Does anyone have any ideas?  

(Also, some NeWS programs on Suns can't be ported too well to
Iris's...what are the important things one needs to watch out for
when writing NeWS code for use on the Iris?

ADVThanksANCE Very Much!!
