hi,

i've checked the man pages inside and out. nbplkup won't even tell me
the name of a computer next to me when i use a number to specify it.
i'm sure my syntax is wrong but i can't figure out the correct syntax.

for instance:

zinc-> nbplkup " b's X"

                          b's X:AFPServer 58624.87:250
                          b's X:PPCToolBox 58624.87:251
                          b's X:Macintosh II 58624.87:253
                          b's X:Workstation 58624.87:4

but this gives no response (putting it in quotes doesn't help):

zinc-> nbplkup 58624.87:250

what am i doing wrong?
