	dig chaos txt version.bind @systemname.domainname

if that fails, than:

	nslookup -type=txt -class=chaos version.bind systemname.domainname

Solaris 7 almost certainly comes with an outdated version of BIND,
since Sun is now releasing Solaris 9.  Get bind 9.2.1 or 9.2.2.  Or, if
you must have BIND 8, you can get and install 8.3.3.
