NOTE: The cgi inteface release has been delayed until BETA 3.  We need 
to build the install scripts and bullet proof the code.


BUILDING THE CLIENT

The client has been built and tested on the following platforms:

BSDI 1.1 (with the standard C compiler)
Linux 1.2.8 (with gcc 2.6.3)
AIX 3.2.2 (with the standard AIX compiler)
Ultrix 3.1 (with the bundled C compiler)
SunOS 4.1.3 (with the bundled C compiler)
SunOS 4.1.4 (with the bundled C compiler)
Solaris 2.4 (with the SunPRO 2.X compiler)

Changes will need to be made to the Makefile before building the software
if you are building it on Solaris 2.4. Look in the Makefile for details.

Changes may need to be made for other operating environments if you
want BIND 4.9.3 or later resolver libraries and are not on a BSD 4.4
compatible operating environment. This will be true on SunOS 4.1.X
platforms and Ultrix 3.X platforms. Generally, these changes will
involve adding a reference to the 44bsd compatibility library that
comes with BIND 4.9.3 or later.

Thanks to Stan Barber for help on release cleanup.
Thanks to Debbie Williamson for help on DRAFT client user doc.
