Wow. Having so badly named functions in public name space...

You cold reimplement the missing functions like this:

unsigned short
_getshort(unsigned char *ptr)
{
unsigned short x;
memcpy (&x, ptr, sizeof (x));
return x; // or return ntohs (x); if the data are in network byte order.
}

...

Actually, if you do grep over header files you will find that arpa/nameser.h
contains ns_get32() etc.
