V4.6 had bigger problems then it fixed, so it was not released to the general public. If you are on the DARPA net, BIND can be anonymous FTP'd from ucbarpa.Berkeley.edu, it's in pub/bind.tar or a compressed version in pub/bind.tar.Z There is also a copy sitting on ucbvax:~uucp/bind.tar and bind.tar.Z which can be uucp'ed The distribution is too large to send thru electronic mail. -Kevin Dunlap
