[ I can't remember if it's 4.9, or 5.0 ]

If one defines the following in the top of the opt-level makefile, it does 
indeed build, and work on SVR4 Intel boxes:


CC = cc-bsd -DBSD -DPOSIX

Also, one has to change the cd $x(for dir's) Makefiles' install to
be /usr/ucb/install as the SVR4 one don't have the options BSD
does.


It seems to deal real well with authorative as well as non-authorative
answers. Speed is much better than stock USL SVR4 nslookup, and nstest.

I made NO code changes after figuring out the compiler options. I setup
a rogue secondary on my machine here, upurbmw.dell.com and will keep
you and cwg advised as to what's up.

If every american puts $ 29,999 as salary, and takes the remainder and
puts it into a 401K(or other deferment plan), then TAXES WON'T HELP !!!!!!!!!

Addendum:

The above notes are out of date and no longer work with this version of 
BIND.  Look for the SVR4.0.4 makefile entry and start working from that. 
It should compile out of the box with those settings on just about every 
i386 SVR4.0 and SVR4.2 (including Novell's Unixware)
