[ih] Hosts.txt

[E;izabeth Feinler]

I will be down to the Computer History Museum on Thursday and will  
see what I can find for you.  Any list I find will be in hardcopy, so  
will have to be scanned to use online.   Just out of curiosity what  
are you doing that involves old hosts.txt lists?  I couldn't imagine  
that anyone would want to see one.  Guess I shouldn't throw anything  
away (not that I ever did.)  :-)

Regards,

Jake
