I already noticed that for SunOS4.1.1, HP/UX8.07 and Celerity systems (the only
machines I have direct access to) you do not need to mention any extra
libraries when compiling programs that make use of:

	socket(), sendto(), gethostbyname(), getservbyname(), getprotobyname()
	opendir()

Apparently some 3B2 SysV3.2 systems you need to link in "-lnet -lnsl_s" to
get the network support.

In order to do a quick portability survey, I'd very much like to know if there
are (were) some systems out there that also need specific libraries to compile
programs with network and directory support?

I'll summarise to the net.
Thanks.
