ADDRINFOW, ADDRINFOA structures
-GetAddrInfoW, GetAddrInfoA functions
-WSAErrorCodes Xojo method
-Three variations (union overloading) of inaddr1, inaddr2, and in_addr3
-Added get MemoryBlock from pointer in example 24-12
-Added GetAdaptersAddresses to retrieve addresses and data from adapters in Example 30-4 and include other data:
-GetAdapterAddresses function
-Get Adapter Address Flags (Appendix CP)
-IPADAPTERADDRESSES_LH Structures for 32-bit and 64-bit applications
-IPADAPTERUNICASTADDRESSLH structures for 32-bit and 64-bit applications
-IPADAPTERANYCASTADDRESSXP structures for 32-bit and 64-bit apps
-SOCKET_ADDRESS structures for 32-bit and 64-bit apps
-Added IP Adapter Flags (Appendix CQ)
-Updated Appendix A with C++ to Xojo Data Type conversions
