No, MSVC doesn't have inet_aton, but interestingly inet_ntoa is supported.
As always, the Microsoft way is to support something that *looks* like a socket interface at first sight, but well, it's a bit different.
If I remember correctly, "inet_aton()" is newer than "inet_ntoa()"; I think BSD originally had "inet_ntoa()" and "inet_addr()", with "inet_aton()" showing up later.
