BIND-4.9.5 Installer package (m68k, i486, hppa, sparc)

This is the README file for BIND-4.9.5.pkg, a package containing a replacement
for the BIND installation that comes with NEXTSTEP. At least under NEXTSTEP
3.x, this is a very old version of BIND, which contains bugs and security
problems. I created this package because I will soon be releasing an Installer
package for the Squid Internet Object Cache. This cache has revealed a bug in
the named daemon, which prompted me to install the latest version of BIND.

This package has not been checked under NEXTSTEP 4.x. Please tell me if it
works. The software has not been checked on sparc and hppa architectures.
Again, please tell me if it works.

Note: I don't have the time to tell you how BIND works. Read the man page for
named for a start.

This package does not contain a replacement for the developer side, the header
files and libraries on your system will be unaffected.

Safe Installation:

You can normally safely install this package. It will backup the existing
files before installing the newer versions. When you delete or compress the
package again the original files will be reinstalled. Is that great or what?

Yours,
