%%name: whois

%%short-description: An advanced and intelligent whois client

%%full-description: This is a new whois (RFC 954) client rewritten
from scratch by me. It is derived from and compatible with the usual
BSD and RIPE whois (1) programs.

<P> It is <em>intelligent</em> because it automatically selects the
right whois server for most queries. It knows about TLDs, NIC handles,
IPv4 and IPv6 allocations, AS numbers.

<P> It supports the command line syntax of the RIPE client.
