There should already be a sample.
NT->W2k->XP all store the TCP/IP files in
\Win***\System32\Drivers\etc
9X stores them directly in the \Windows directory

HOSTS For machine names
SERVICES For the 3050 and other services entries
NETWORKS Root names
PROTOCOL TCP/IP protocol conversions
( lmhosts.sam was the Microsoft attempt to hijack the
standard )

Simply lines of IP address and machine name ( with room for
notes

172.16.0.3 ENGINEERING # Notes on this line

Only problem is to ensure that the saved file does not get
the obligatory .txt added to it. Remove it if it does <g>
