I hereby forward a set of enhancements to the nslookup program for easier lookup of NSAP addresses in DNS.
For those of you who use the ``host'' utility: Similar nsap support has been incorporated in ``host'' as per version 940917. See below for a few examples. [Note that this is the contrib/host, not the tools/host, as distributed with BIND. Apart from being a DNS query tool, this utility does syntax and semantics analysis of the retrieved data on the fly. Several features have been added since the version currently present in BIND.] The latest version can be retrieved via anonymous ftp from ``ftp.nikhef.nl'' in directory ``/pub/network'' as ``host.tar.Z'' or ``host_940917.tar.Z''. (Apologies if you receive this message more than once.) -- Eric Wassenaar [] host -V Version 940917 # Fetch the nsap address of the specified host.
