WhoIs - Information

Introduction

This utility performs a lookup of the specified domain in the InterNIC Registration Services database. This database contains ONLY non-military and non-US Government Domains and contacts.

Installation

There is no special procedure to follow. Just place the program in the Windows directory or in a dedicated folder (directory). Since this is a console application it would make sense to have the program in the path.

WhoIs has been developed and tested on Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT 4.0 and requires no additional runtime DLLs.
