The comment header says ; DoD Internet Host Table ; 28-Apr-86 ; Version number 534 If someone / some site wishes to collect hosts.txt generations for a historical record, let me know offlist, and I'll supply a pointer to a copy of my file. Sadly, it looks like we just replaced PS:<SYSTEM>HOSTS.TXT with a new generation from time to time, purging previous generations (a legacy of the days when a washing-machine-sized 200MB disk drive and cabinet cost US$15,000). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Nelson H.
