To set-up HSCAN, make an Icon for it in program manager.  Easy :-)

Operation is Straightforward: 

Run it, enter an IP-Number to start-off with, and the number of hosts
you wish to scan.  Click on START and the chosen number of hosts,
starting with the IP-Address selected, will be scanned.  Hosts that
have a name will have their name shown in the list.  The contents of
the list can be SAVEd to scan.txt by clicking on SAVE.


What does it do, and what's the point ?
---------------------------------------
SCAN uses the gethostbyaddress() lookup, which is used by applications
to get the name (and subsequently other info) about a given address.
This may prove a useful utility to have, particular if you're
trying to compile mailing lists etc.
