My understanding was that neither the AEGIS TCP/IP nor the BSD TCP/IP implementations read the NIC format local.txt file directly -- that makehost.sh created the files necessary for both implementations from the NIC format files. -- David Krowitz krowitz@richter.mit.edu (18.83.0.109) krowitz%richter@eddie.mit.edu krowitz%richter@athena.mit.edu krowitz%richter.mit.edu@mitvma.bitnet (in order of decreasing preference)
