I have not put it into bin/ and replaced Charles Hedrick's version (from which the NIKHEF version was derived) mostly because the NIKHEF version does not subscribe to BIND's various portability-level #include's but also because ISC is not the definitive source of the NIKHEF version of "host" -- and the "bin/" subtree of the BIND source has only things we are the definitive source of. But I personally use the NIKHEF version on my own systems since it is a lot more featureful and better implemented than the BIND version. (That it, I use NIKHEF "host" whenever BIND "DiG" won't do what I need.) -- Paul Vixie La Honda, CA "Many NANOG members have been around <[email protected]> longer than most." --Jim Fleming pacbell!vixie!paul (An H.323 GateKeeper for the IPv8 Network)
