	Under Ultrix(DEC) and UTX(Gould) I get a compiler (and lint) error 
about unacceptable types that does no occur under 4.3bsd - I have looked at
the pertinent include files on 4.3 and Ultrix and they are identical as
far as my problem is concerned.

  the problem (from tn3270's telnet.c)
		sin.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(argv[1])
causes the error " operands of = have incompatible types"
where argv is declared char *argv[], 'sin.sin_addr.s_addr' is
u_long (from include/netinet/in.h ) and inet_addr() is declared
'external unsigned long inet_addr();' in telnet.c

Is there a way to get this past the compiler - I have tried a couple of
(probably simplistic) redefines and they have made thing worse.
thanks,
hurf
