	The format has been left alone.  Well-formed named.conf files and 
zone files from BIND 8 should work unchanged under BIND 9.  The key 
word is "well-formed", because BIND 8 has been more lax about 
requiring adherence to certain aspects of the syntax of the files, 
whereas BIND 9 is much more strict.

	Just what on *EARTH* are you talking about?  Have you been taking 
drugs or something?!?
