[Theo Gottwald]

This is a nice example how to save a Loop by using the builtin "USING$" command.

' IP-Adress(Long)->IP-Adress (String)
FUNCTION IP_Adress(BYVAL T01 AS LONG) AS STRING
LOCAL T02 AS STRING, T03 AS BYTE PTR
T03 = VARPTR(T01)
T02 = USING$("#_.#_.#_.#", @T03, @T03[1], @T03[2], @T03[3])
FUNCTION = T02
END FUNCTION
