That's odd.  I know that Bruce #ifdef'd out the core of the _new_
functions I sent in but I didn't realize that he took the existing
ones out too.

Yes, I agree.  Bruce, can we put the inet_in and inet_out functions
back the way they were?

However, I have put all the code back in locally for testing so that
isn't why mine isn't working.  I'll try with today's sup.
