I was actually downloading BIND for NT when I posted the message, it was
taking a very long time, (ftp.drcoffsite.com are connected to the net
with wet string - email access@drcoffsite.com to get the password).  The
files have the same names as those on the ISC site, I guess the
different file sizes are down to using different versions of zip - I'm
not particularly inclined to download the files for comparison.

It's got code for the resolver library, but it doesn't seem (on a first
read through) to know how to ask Windows for its DNS server addresses,
netmasks, ...  One of my hopes was to avoid asking users to give my
application such info when Windows has it already.
