Okay, I have read some of the replies, but I thought I would point out
that on my SYS V
system (Dell 386/ix SVR3.2) the file libinet.a has these routines.  So,
typically when 
porting applications over, I just edit the makefile to add -linet into
the build.  This of
course may not be the case on your system, but if it is, it may save you
some time.
