[ih] Domain Names

[LarrySheldon at cox.net (Larry Sheldon)]

In this discussion of the development of the DNS structure, am I wrong 
in believing:

   that the HOSTS.TXT "system" was a direct antecedent of the DNS, but

   the BITNET, "bang-path", FIDO structures (and probably some I have
   forgotten about or never knew about) were parallel to but not
   much part of the genealogy of the DNS?
