Yes.  That's the way it's supposed to work.   The APIs that
need an IP address take it in this format.   The connect() and
bind() APIs are examples.

This "dotted-decimal" format is just a convienience for people to
read.  If you want to show IPAddr so that its easy for a person to
read, call "inet_ntoa" to convert it to x.x.x.x format.

Something like this should work:

D inet_ntoa       PR              *   ExtProc('inet_ntoa')
D  ulong_addr                   10U 0 VALUE

D ReadableIP      S             17A    

C                   eval      ReadableIP = %str(inet_ntoa(IPAddr))
