Jonas Maebe 8b0301409a + i386/iphonesim target for the new iPhoneSimulator in Xcode 3.2.4 and
later: the same as i386/darwin, except
      a) uses the non-fragile Objective-C ABI/runtime
      b) does not require stubs for direct calls/jumps (not required for
         i386/darwin under 10.6 and later either, but still generated
         there for backwards compatibility)
      c) only the same packages are enabled as for ARM/Darwin
      d) MacOSAll is compiled specifically for the iPhoneSimulator SDK
    This target also defines the symbol "darwin" apart from the target
    name "iphonesim" for source code compatibility reasons.

This directory contains a pure-pascal netdb implementation:
It is written mainly to be able to implement network applications that
do hostname lookups independent of the C library.

The uriparser unit contains a parser for URI strings: It decomposes the URI
in its various elements. The opposite can also be done: from various
elements create a complete URI

This provides the equivalent of the Inet unit, but the implementation is
written completely in pascal. It parses the hosts,services and networks
files just as the C library does (it should, anyway). 

The DNS routines also do a DNS lookup and parse /etc/resolv.conf
The 'domain' and 'search' entries in this file are parsed, but ignored.
Only the 'nameserver' entries are used at the moment.

The various test programs show how to use this.

Enjoy!

Michael.
