- Why another whois client? Because the RIPE client is a mess of hacks and
- #ifdefs and more complex programs lack features or are bloated.
-
- This client is intelligent and can automatically select the appropriate
- whois server for most queries.
-
-
- Notes about the data files:
- - domain names MUST be lowercase and MUST begin with "." or "-".
- - first match wins (for both domains and netblocks)
- - elements in tld_serv_list are matched against the end of the query
-
- Please send me any information you have regarding domains and netblocks
- not correctly handled by the program.
-
- Please also try to compile after defining HAVE_GETADDRINFO and send me
- working #defines for your flavour of UNIX.
-
- The home of the program is
