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

        !            61: .SH BUGS
        !            62: If the name-domain system provided network name mapping well as host
        !            63: name mapping,
        !            64: .I gettable
        !            65: would no longer be needed.
