I have an old Alpha 2100 running VMS V6.2-1H3 that I just noticed has DEC C V5.5. netdb.h is there, so it must have been around when those versions came out.

Well, I don't know about you, but now I plan
to delete those files on my old VAXes the
next chance I get. (I wonder who could have
put them there. Sabotage, that's what it is.)

If I weren't so lazy, I'd fire up the old
VAXstation 2000 with VMS V5.5-2 and the
Wollongong PathWay TCP/IP software installed,
to see what it has. I'd bet that they
supplied a network-capable NETDB.H. I
suppose that I should delete that one, too.

Galen,

My info above is incorrect, and thanks for your kind information.

I should have mentioned like "BSD 4.4 Socket package functions are not added in NETDB.H before OpenVMS V7.0"

My dear other friend, Make sure to take a video clip while burn your vax machines to send to "short tempered man computer jokes" web sites.

Thanks
