Also other minor corrections.Below are the changes since 1.5$Id: CHANGES,v 1.2 1993/07/21 14:38:47 barr Exp barr $Version 1.6removed -c switch, since I thought it would work a long time ago, butlater found out it could never be made to work.  Well, it could, justnot very nicely.  (nor efficiently)Fixed bug with parsing of dig output.  Newer dig has slightly differentoutput, causing serial numbers to not be pulled out.Changed the do-dnswalk script to use exec > logfile instead ofredirecting every invocation to a logfile.  Idea from Dan Ehrlich.Fixed problem with dnswalk using old list of subdomains in axfr file,ignoring the new zone transfer if it was needed.Accounted for annoying behavior of new dig to print duplicate SOA's.Documented nameserver error reporting.	For those unfamiliar, dnswalk is a perl script that will findinconsistencies and general Bad Things in a DNS domain.  It is meant topick up where 'doc' left off.  dnswald checks individual resourcerecord entries, while doc just checks to see if your overalldelegations are consistent.--Dave
