In <3764@ruuinf.cs.ruu.nl> I wrote:

   |  I wrote a pretty small program just to do quick 'n easy reverse-resolving
   | and called it "nsl"; you can call it with either a hostname or an IP
   | address.

  I got a bug report from Dan Bernstein: passing a wrong argument to
the "inet_ntoa" routine caused a core dump on a Sun-4. :-(

  I've put a fixed version in our archive. If you got NSL from our archive
server before Tue, Sep 11, 17:25 GMT (!), please fetch the patchlevel 1
version. So, once more on how to get it:

	** Anonymous FTP:
		Site: "archive.cs.ruu.nl" [131.211.80.5]
		File: pub/UNIX/nsl-1.0.1.tar.Z

	** Mail-server, send a message to "mail-server@cs.ruu.nl" with the
	   following commands in the message body:

		begin
		send UNIX/nsl-1.0.1.tar.Z
		end



				enjoy,
