Hi Neal,

wow, your hosts files are really big! You don't have to download them to your
OS-9 system though. If you use NFS you can sinply mount the harddisk of
Nameserver as a device for OS-9, then you can use the -d option of idbgen. But
- do you really need all the entries in your nameserver's hosts file? You may
get a problem with the inetdb getting too big. Unlike Unix, OS-9 has no virtual
memory! Maybe you should create your own hosts file containing only the server
aliases you really need.

Regards,

Jost
