Here at ISU, we use hesiod for Project Vincent, which is simular to
Project Athena.  One big difference is that the MIT Hesiod information
databases differ from what DECathena uses.  One big difference is in the
service hesiod area:


MIT hesiod:
	% hesinfo telnet service
	telnet 23 tcp

DECathena hesiod:
	% hesinfo telnet services
	telnet 23/tcp
	% hesinfo 23/tcp services
	telnet 23/tcp
	% hesinfo 23 services
	telnet 23/tcp

This makes name lookup simple -- juse pretend whatever is returned is
from a file and go.  ;)

The revelent files are on tbird.cc.iastate.edu:/pub/386bsd/libc-hesiod.
Get them all, and read the README there for installation info.
