Siljaline,

Could you please explain what in particular doesn't work? Or is it just the
comments being stripped as we discussed recently?

Thanks

Robin

Hi Robin,

I guess I was belaboring the point but yes, HOSTESS will strip the
*all important* and newly added searchable comments if the HOSTS
Editor is used.

There are new comments section which cross-reference several URL's
including Andrew Clover's Doxdesk information.

Regards,

When any HOSTS file is imported with HOSTESS it does not erase the old
import file so if the user wanted to search on some comment they can go to
the original file.
