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

Operation is Straightforward: 

Run it, and click on the DO IT button.  The name of your host will
show at the bottom, preceeded by a figure indicating the length of
the name.

What does it do, and what's the point ?
---------------------------------------
Lhost uses the gethostname() lookup, which is used by applications
to get the name (and subsequently other info) about the local host.
This may prove a useful utility to have, particular if you're
running winsock on a LAN.  Anyhow, it's only a few KBytes.
