Used Ediger's simple gh (gethostbyname) utility to make a gethostbyaddr utility. (This is not part of NetBSD.) *I am going hack the code together and make one routine to submit to NetBSD packages, because it is more useful than similar name-resolver-based-only utilities.

Received an email regarding PR 12549 which I filed on April 4; the coder wants to know what is broken. So I saved the printjob.c I was working on back then, replaced it with the original. Then under /usr/src/usr.sbin/lpr, I did "cvs update -r netbsd-1-5 2>&1 | tee log". cvs reported:

P common_source/common.c
P lpd/lpd.8
M lpd/printjob.c

"M" means modified, but printjob.c code wasn't really modified -- I assume it was just the date stamp. The "P" is not documented in the cvs manual page; I sent an email asking about this. cvs is part of -current; my cvs was from package; cvs in current has "P" explained -- it is a patch: "a diff has been applied". I also see that cvs-1.11 package also has this fixed, so I am updating with "make TARGET=bin-install update" in devel/cvs. *I need to still test this lpd and reply about it.
