Somewhere on the web someone else was dealing with something kind of
similar. a users suggested,"Add an empty main function to MustWork.c"
void main( int i, char** c )
{
}
Well I tried that and it compiled, but not at all what I expected.
It was just jumping right to the empty main and compiling that.
That gave me an idea. I threw out the empty main and renamed WinMain
to main. Voila; It worked.
Perhaps I started the project wrong in BCB4.
I selected New\Consoile Wizard. Is that wrong for a plain console App?
I would like to provide it with an IP address or computer name on my
local net instead of the "WWW.Microsoft.com"
I notice it return an address but it is not in standard format
i.e. for microsoft it was 001531d8.
a standard ping returns [207.46.130.108]
while tracert to www.microsoft.com brings this up
tracing route to lb1.www.ms.akadns.net [207.46.198.30]
I know this program uses the function
phostent = gethostbyaddr((char *)&d,4,PF_INET);
But how would you convert 192.168.1.3 to ?
anyway Thanks a lot
