You have bumped into one of several common Berkeley BSD library routines
that are not supported in the SCO Development System.  (They are included
as a part of the SCO TCP/IP Development System.)  What follows is a shar
file containing my own source code which I wrote when I had the same
problem and before I had the SCO TCP/IP Development System.  Anyone may
use these routines freely for any purpose.  No warranty.  Hope these
help you out of your bind..

#! /bin/sh
# This is a shell archive.  Remove anything before this line, then unpack
# it by saving it into a file and typing "sh file".  To overwrite existing
# files, type "sh file -c".  You can also feed this as standard input via
# unshar, or by typing "sh <file", e.g..  If this archive is complete, you
# will see the following message at the end:
#		"End of shell archive."
