Contained in this archive are the DNS query tools 'dig' and 'nslookup'
from the bind-4.9.3-beta17 archive, adapted to AmigaOS and AmiTCP.
I compiled them last summer but had never the time to polish them
enough (IMO) for a release on Aminet. Due to some demand on Usenet
and IRC I have now put together the binaries for those who would like
to try them.
Installation:
copy bin/#? TO AmiTCP:bin
copy help/#? TO AmiTCP:help
; only if the whois-service is unknown
type db/services.add >> AmiTCP:db/services
missing features:
- I never checked the necessary stack size, 16384 works for me,
less may give you trouble.
- nslookup doesn't allow a ':' in filenames for the ls command:
ls some.domain.org. > RAM:foobar
but this happens also with the UNIX nslookup I have. If you make
the appropriate changes to the (f)lex input file commands.l, let
me know.
- The binaries contain debug information (line), so FindHit may say
something useful. Strip them to save about 100KB.
- rather big executables, even if stripped. The programs include
their own resolver functions (res_send, etc.), since those inside
AmiTCP are not accessible.
