Under RISC/os 4.52:

$ cd /bsd43/usr/include
$ find . -print | xargs egrep 'bsd43_\(sockaddr_in\)|bsd43_sockaddr_in'
../saio/ei.h:    struct bsd43_(sockaddr_in) ei_srcaddr;  /* source address of last packet */
../saio/ei.h:    struct bsd43_(sockaddr_in) ei_dstaddr;  /* destination address for transmits */
../sys/mount.h:  struct bsd43_(sockaddr_in)      *addr;  /* file server address */
$ 

All of which are uses of the declared structure but there appears to be
no definition.  Under some circumstances it would be nice if the bsd43
include files could stand alone as definitions of structures with names
of the form "bsd43_..." and this is mostly true -- the above example
is the first exception that I have found.  Any chance that this could
be fixed in time for RISC/os 5.0?

Cheers,
bruce.
