Actually, I've ported BIND 8.2.3-T6B to Windows NT. I won't and can't
support any of the Win9x platforms. The major tools, dig, nslookup and host
are now working on NT, but I don't intend to try and deal with those other
platforms, if it works, fine. I'd also ignore any reported bugs on Win9x
platforms
as I'd have to go through hoops to reproduce a problem.
If all goes well, I should have this available next week. The last problem
that I had to get through was getting to the tools to work without a
resolv.conf
file on Windows NT. Unix systems always has one, but Windows uses the
registry to configure the domain name and the default nameserver addresses.
BTW, I believe that the differences in the NT registry from the Win9x
registry layout will prevent it working on Win9x.
