 Introduction
 ************
 
    JWHOIS is an Internet Whois client that contains an extensible
 configuration file which defines its operation. The client supports
 queries to foreign hosts either through the RFC 954 - NICNAME/WHOIS
 protocol, the RFC 2167 - Referral Whois 1.5 protocol, or HTTP using an
 external browser.
 
    Upon execution, JWHOIS searches through the its configuration to
 find the most specific whois server to query. Depending upon the reply
 from that whois server, JWHOIS can assume the query was successfull and
 display the result to the user, or optionally redirect the query to
 another server to find more specific information.
