- That's about what all of you sent me. I'm sorry to disappoint you but
- all the library does is to build and parse DNS packets. The asynchrounous
- stuff was done in the X program which used the library. Nevertheless it
- might help someone build a library routine which is able to do the same.
-
- I made the tar file available for retrieving on ftp.huji.ac.il:
- /pub/network/ntp/xdns.tar.gz, that's the entire X program (which does
- NOT compile for me now because it uses some extra libs, but worked fine
- back then).
-
- Here is the README file I compiled, so you don't have to retrieve it if you
- don't like it.
-
- Enjoy,

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- This directory contains sources for an incomplete X interface for
- Domain Name Service 'digging' tool. The program used to work on Suns
- running SunOS 4.* sometime during '92. I can't compile it today
- because it requires the Widget Creation Library (Wcl) and maybe some
- other stuff which we don't have now.
-
- The code in dnslib.c and dnslib.h helps to deal with the various
- fields of the DNS packets in C programs more easely.
-
- The asynchrounous code some people asked about (3 people in 5
- minutes since I mentioned it :) is actually a re-arrengment of
- the basic query sending routine from the DNS packege writen by Paul Vixie.
- This is done in the file sendquery.c

- Please be fair and give credit when credit is due (allready had my

- Enjoy, and please let me know what you are doing with this.
