InetDB/ReadMe1st
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

File contents
The DNS resolver software is in part based upon source that is Copyright (c) 1985, 1988 Regents of the University of California. All rights reserved. --------------------------------- How to install ============== You CANNOT use this software with KA9Q. You require either Acorn TCP/IP release 2 or 4 or FreeNet or ANT !InetSuite. If you have FreeNet, then you should already have this module and have configured it. See !FreeNet.Docs.Resolver for more details. For Acorn !Internet: 1) Extract the complete InetDB directory to your hard disc. 2) Read the file called 'Resolver'. If you don't understand what this file is telling you to do, read the section at the end of this file instead. 3) Edit both of the files inside the 'files' subdirectory (resboot and resconf) as per the instructions in 'Resolver'. YOU CANNOT USE THEM WITHOUT EDITING THEM APPROPRIATELY FOR YOUR MACHINE. The bits you need to edit are: All of resboot; the domain and nameserver lines in resconf. 4) Copy the 'files' directory over the top of !Internet.files directory (which will merge the resboot and resconf with your !Internet files) 5) That's it :-) For ANT !InetSuite: 1,2) As for Acorn 3) Edit ONLY resconf, and delete resboot. 4) Copy the files directory over the top of !InetSuite.Internet.Files directory will will merge the resconf with your InetSuite files/ 5) As for Acorn :-) ----Alternate instructions from those given in 'Resolver'---- In the following instructions, lines beginning >> are my comments: You cannot put these lines in resboot or resconf. The following files are configured for my Risc PC, delenn, which is in the ecs.soton.ac.uk domain, and has IP address 152.78.67.42 So the full machine name is delenn.ecs.soton.ac.uk !Freeuser.files.resboot (or !Internet.files.resboot for Acorn TCP/IP) $ORIGIN ecs.soton.ac.uk. >> this line tells the resolver in which domain it is running. >> Demon users should set it to demon.co.uk. >> >> >>>>>>> note the trailing dot at the end of the domain <<<<<<< >> delenn IN A 152.78.67.42 >> >> format is: YourHostName IN A YourIpAddress >> this instructs the resolver to add a permanent entry to the >> lookup tables for your own host IN A == INternet Address >> 42.67.78.152.in-addr.arpa.
