+                      ASCII TEXT FILE OF HOSTNAMES
+
+
+The online ASCII text file of official hostnames as defined in RFCs 606
+and 608 is now available at OFFICE-1 (Hostaddr. 43 decimal) with
+pathname <NETINFO>HOSTS.TXT.  Currently the file includes hostname, host
+address, and host status.  We hope to be adding additional attributes
+soon. This file will be maintained by the NIC, and all hosts are
+encouraged to use these hostnames in their monitors.  Changes or
+additions will be added on a weekly basis.  Each network host will be
+responsible for accessing this file via FTP for new information.
+
+Presently no nicknames are included in this file.  However, if any site
+wants to register one official nickname, it may do so.  Nicknames will
+be added to the <NETINFO>HOSTS.TXT file as they are received, and
+systems with name-to-address translation are encouraged, but not
+required, to use them.
+
+Although hostname changes and nicknames are perfectly valid in
+principle, as a practical consideration we would like to ask hosts to
+chose their official hostnames carefully, so that changes and nicknames
+can be kept to a minimum.
+
+If you have changes, additions, corrections, or comments please direct
+them to:
