Analog doesn't do anything as complicated as you think. It just calls the system function gethostbyaddr(). It's up to the OS to respond appropriately to that call. This is the best I can do in a (relatively) OS-independent way. Helper applications which are designed for only one OS may be able to do better. -- Stephen Turner, Cambridge, UK http://homepage.ntlworld.com/adelie/stephen/ "Low Priced Cambridge Clare College.
