  You need DNS/BIND 4.8.3 or later.  SunOS 4.x ships with an older version of
named, libresolv, and associated header files.  New BIND stuff can be gotten
from ftp.uu.net.  Those macros (T_TXT and C_HS) are defined in
"/usr/include/arpa/nameser.h"

  Installing BIND on a Sun is tricky.  I suggest getting O'Reilly's DNS/BIND
book, if you don't already have it; they show you how to get everything working
on a Sun plus other systems.

  Hope this helps.
