HESIOD DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION                         18 October 1993
 
Welcome to Hesiod, the Project Athena nameserver.  Hesiod can provide
general name service for a variety of applications and is based on the
Berkeley Internet Name Daemon (BIND).  This is version 1.3 of the Hesiod
distribution.

Instructions for building the hesiod library and test program are in src/Build.

We have gotten the hesiod library and hesinfo to build on the following
platforms:
	DECStation running Ultrix 4.2A or 4.3
	VAXstation running BSD 4.3 (with local modifications)
	SPARCclassic running Solaris
	RS6000 running AIX 3.2

This distribution currently does not include application code, except for a
simple test program.  

Although the included Imakefile is used for building hesiod in our
environment, the Makefile was used for all of the testing done in
creating this distribution.  You will probably want to use the latter.

A discussion of Hesiod takes place on the mailing list
"hesiod@mit.edu."  To join, please send mail to
"hesiod-request@mit.edu."  Please send any bug reports or suggested
changes to the mailing list.
 
Some of the configuration files and documents refer to other software
packages developed at Project Athena.  For more information about
them, send mail to "info-athena@mit.edu."
