As relates to VAXen running BSD4.2+ and derivitives (Ultrix, Xinu, etc): We would like to be able to determine what type of VAX processor a program is currently executing on (e.g. a MicroVAX, 8600 series, 8800 series, etc.). A dim recollection pointed to gethostbyname(), et.al., but a re-RTFM doesn't confirm this recollection. Any pointers on how to do this in a _reasonably_ portable way (amongst BSD- derivitives) would be appreciated. Please respond via e-mail unless group discussion seems appropriate.
