Yes, it does. As I posted yesterday, by performing the proper sacrifices 
and incantations I seem to have it working now. My (Mandrake 7.2) 
distribution really did not like the resolv.h file at all, but by ignoring 
all the header files except <arpa/nameser.h>, and defining something-or-
other to do with POSIX, I now seem to have code that compiles, links and 
even seems to run (so far). This stuff isn't for the faint of heart, is it?
