Gettable and htable are not installed on workstations, although man
pages do exist on both the RT and the VAX for them.

These two programs, gettable and htable, are available in the sources on
paris and minos. They are used to get the host name tables from a
nic-server (eg. SRI-NIC.ARPA) and convert it to standard hostname
format respectively. I have tried compiling and running them and they
work fine.
They are purposely (I presume) left out of the Makefile
(/{paris,minos}/source/4.3/etc/Makefile) since we dont have any need for
them as we are resolving hostnames using domain servers and not from an
/etc/hosts file.
