HostNameToAddress Function

[Bridger Maxwell]

I found out some more information.  Apparently the nslookup Unix command
returns the following:
nslookup is deprecated and may be removed from future releases.
Consider using the `dig' or `host' programs instead.  Run nslookup with
the `-sil[ent]' option to prevent this message from appearing.
Server:         192.168.0.1
Address:        192.168.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
158.36.131.209.in-addr.arpa     name = f1.www.vip.sp1.yahoo.com.

Authoritative answers can be found from:
36.131.209.in-addr.arpa nameserver = ns5.yahoo.com.
36.131.209.in-addr.arpa nameserver = ns7.yahoo.com.
36.131.209.in-addr.arpa nameserver = ns1.yahoo.com.
36.131.209.in-addr.arpa nameserver = ns2.yahoo.com.
36.131.209.in-addr.arpa nameserver = ns3.yahoo.com.
ns1.yahoo.com   internet address = 66.218.71.63
ns2.yahoo.com   internet address = 68.142.255.16
ns3.yahoo.com   internet address = 217.12.4.104
ns5.yahoo.com   internet address = 216.109.116.17
ns7.yahoo.com   internet address = 68.142.226.82

I guess that means that nslookup has been removed from her machine?  Is that
what Revolution uses for hostNameToAddress()?
