Short: DNS query tools Author: various authors Uploader: kamar@ease.rhein-main.de (Klaus Heinz) Type: comm/tcp Requires: AmiTCP v4 (never checked v2 or v3) 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. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 125044 65352 47.7% 28-Apr-96 19:02:50 +dig 136988 68685 49.8% 28-Apr-96 19:02:38 +nslookup 17456 9670 44.6% 28-Apr-96 19:04:00 +whois 26 26 0.0% 28-Apr-96 19:20:14 +services.add 1353 784 42.0% 28-Apr-96 21:19:12 +dnstools.readme 15694 5130 67.3% 28-Apr-96 17:58:40 +dig.0 15212 4479 70.5% 28-Apr-96 17:59:00 +nslookup.0 1702 818 51.9% 28-Apr-96 17:59:10 +nslookup.help 1393 660 52.6% 28-Apr-96 18:01:12 +whois.0 -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 314868 155604 50.5% 29-Apr-96 00:41:22 9 files
