Hi,
res_mkquery is available in HP-UX 7.0:
/lib/libc.a res_mkqry.o 0x00000000 TS _res_mkquery
I did not find it anywhere in our HP-UX 6.5, and no RESOLVER man page either;
7.0 has
RESOLVER(3N) RESOLVER(3N)
NAME
res_init, res_mkquery, res_search, res_send, dn_comp, dn_expand,
herror - resolver routines

While the resolver stuff was never an official part of 6.5, there is an unofficial, unsupported patch. You may retrieve the necessary files via anonymous ftp from me10.lbl.gov. Look in pub/bind_6.5. You are, of course, on your own with this stuff. However, we were able to get all of it working well. -jem -- JEMilburn@lbl.gov ...!ucbvax!lbl.gov!JEMilburn "I don't sing, I don't dance, and I don't like people who do." -Leterman

The resolver routines are part of the BIND nameserver/resolver package available from a number of places, including 'uunet' (as the file 'networking/bind.4.8.3.tar.Z'). -- Peter Eriksson pen@lysator.liu.se Lysator Computer Club ...!uunet!lysator.liu.se!pen University of Linkoping, Sweden Support the LPF!

Because all of the system utilities are linked with the resolver library, when it exists, just getting the bind source won't upgrade all of those utilities. (Any program that calls gethostbyname(2), for instance. (ping, rlogin, ftp, ...)) Therefore, upgrade to 7.0 if at all possible..... sdw -- Stephen D.
