dig has been available on winnt and w2k for almost a year, along with host.
Just get it from the BIND 8.2.x install kit.  You'll need libbind.dll to go
with it.  It will NOT work on Win9x platforms.

BIND 9 versions of dig, host, etc is also available on winnt and w2k.

nslookup is an application. Just because the BIND community wants to dump
it doesn't mean that noone uses it.
