I think nsl is the name resolution library. You will need one of the sockets
libraries for DJGPP such as Watt-32, to get the name resolution functions. But
none of these libraries puts these functions in libnsl.a IIRC - they are
probably in libsocket.a. See the DJGPP FAQ section 22.4 (IIRC) at
http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/ for a list of libraries.

BTW you should ask this kind of question in the newsgroup comp.os.msdos.djgpp
(which you can also reach by e-mail via djgpp AT delorie DOT com).

Regards,
