- Internet Utilities for Windows 95 and Windows NT Release 1.01
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Overview
- --------
-
- These are three handy console Winsock 32-based Internet utilities
- written for Windows 95 and Windows NT. They provide "whois",
- "host", and "finger" functionality under Windows 95 or Windows
- NT command windows.
-
- Note that executing any of these utilities without any arguments
- will give a short synopsis of their usage.
-
- whois
- -----
-
- This utility allows you to perform a "whois" registry lookup
- of a domain name, or perform a general registration database
- query. The default registration database server used by this
- version of "whois" is "whois.internic.net". You may specify
- a different registration database server by using the "-h"
- option.
-
- Examples: whois sun.com
- whois "kraft foods"
- whois -h rs.internic.net sun
-
-
- host
- ----
-
- This utility allows you to look up information about a particular
- IP address or domain name. It returns the corresponding domain
- name, IP address, and aliases (if any).
-
- Examples: host sun.com
- host 198.105.232.4 gatekeeper.dec.com
-
-
- finger
- ------
-
- This utility allows you to perform a "finger" query on a domain
- or IP address. (Note that Windows NT includes a "finger" utility
- while Windows 95 does not, so this is included primarily for use
- under Windows 95.) The "-l" option displays the results in
- "long" format, if applicable.
-
- Examples: finger -l help@idsoftware.com
- finger @rs.internic.net
- finger @mae-west.netcom.net
