  Highest ECO Rank 1  (DRIVERS_V572P081)
  Version 1.3 Rank 3 - Corrects a specific problem

  This patch kit provides new versions of the following drivers for
  TCPware Version 5.7-2 and 5.8-2:

     DRIVERS_V582P013   - ECO Rank: 3 - Corrects a specific problem
     ----------------
       BGDRIVER         - Allow sockaddrs greater than 16 bytes.  This allows
                          programs that use a data structure large enough to
                          hold a sockaddr_in6 to run.

       INETDRIVER       - Allow AF_UNSPEC (0) as the family in sockaddrs as
                          well as AF_INET.

       UCX$IPC_SHR      - Always set the address family to AF_INET when
                          putting the BSD 4.3 sockaddr in BSD 4.4 format.
                          Correction of errors found in BSD 4.4 functions
                          and getaddrinfo implementation.

    For TCPware Version 5.7-2 This kit also includes the following changes

              TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]UCX$IPC_SHR.EXE
        TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]IPDRIVER.EXE_OLD to
              TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]IPDRIVER.EXE
        TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]TCPDRIVER.EXE_OLD to
              TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]TCPDRIVER.EXE
