Internet Utilities for Windows 95 and Windows NT           Release 1.02
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

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
