[ih] Hosts.txt - part 1

[E;izabeth Feinler]

Attached in this and the next three messages are two host files  
in .pdf form and zipped, as well as RFC 608 in case you don't have it  
online.  Many thanks to Liz Borchardt and  Dana Chrisler of the  
Computer History Musem for scanning them for us.  The first one is  
from 1974.  After a lot of fruitless searching, I remembered that  
back then we simply xeroxed the hosts.txt file and put it into the  
Arpanet Directory, so I copied that.  The second copy is from 1982,  
shortly before we cut over to the domain naming system.  It is quite  
long, so we split it into three parts which I am sending as three  
emails so as not to gronk anyone's mail system.  I will leave it to  
you to piece the parts back together.  If you still want hard copy   
let me know.

Regards,

Jake
