How can I convert the following to ada:

  bcopy( (char*)pHost_Info->h_addr, 
	 (char*)&Serv_Addr.sin_addr, 
	 pHost_Info->h_length );
  
where:

-- pHost_Info->h_addr is a char* to a string with length h_length,
-- Serv_Addr.sin_addr is an unsigned long

I have tried Unchecked_Conversion, but it does not work for the 
unconstrained type Interfaces.C.Char_Array.

A function which does a straight byte copy without regard to type
would be helpful, I guess...

thanks in advance.
chris jones.
