What were you trying to do?
	trying to use use nslookup to lookup an IP address

What's wrong:
	Doesn't give the IP address, instead displays the following
lines
*** Can't fid server name for address 127.0.0.1: non-existent domain
*** Default servers are not available

What should have happened:
	I should have gotten back the IP address of the machine name i typed.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	The decmipsbin version works file. The vaxbin version in the
watchmaker locker works fine too.
