	Question: is it the same amount of difficulty to find IP 
addresses in a foreign domain as it is to find their machine names?  
Because if it's easier to get the numbers, I really don't see why you

"Ed is the standard text editor."
When IBM, in its ever-present omnipotence, needed to base their
"edlin" on a UNIX standard, did they mimic vi?  No.  Emacs?  Surely
