        !            19: .I Gettable
        !            20: is a simple program used to obtain the NIC standard
        !            21: host tables from a ``nicname'' server.  The indicated
        !            22: .I host
        !            23: is queried for the tables.  The tables, if retrieved,
        !            24: are placed in the file
        !            25: .I outfile
        !            26: or by default,
        !            27: .IR hosts.txt .

        !            30: .B \-v
        !            31: option will get just the version number instead of the complete host table
        !            32: and put the output in the file
        !            33: .I outfile
        !            34: or by default,
        !            35: .IR hosts.ver .
        !            36: .PP
        !            37: .I Gettable
        !            38: operates by opening a TCP connection to the port indicated
        !            39: in the service specification for ``nicname''.  A request
        !            40: is then made for ``ALL'' names and the resultant information
        !            41: is placed in the output file.
        !            42: .PP
        !            43: .I Gettable
        !            44: is best used in conjunction with the
        !            45: .IR htable (8)
        !            46: program which converts the NIC standard file format to
        !            47: that used by the network library lookup routines.

        !            53: If the name-domain system provided network name mapping well as host
        !            54: name mapping,

        !            56: would no longer be needed.
