Description Makoto Matsushita 2000-07-24 07:40:00 UTC
	Here is a new port, jwhois. Jwhois is yet another WHOIS client
	such as whois(1). However, jwhois has a cool feature such as
	query-based server selection, cacheing, and query redirection.

	If you are system/network administrator and often use whois(1)
	to check domainname, IP address, NIC handles... jwhois will be
	your nice friend.

How-To-Repeat: 
	Attached below is a shar-file of this port. Please consult and
	import to our repository.

	There is one thing to be considerd. Can we use ${PREFIX}/var/jwhois
	as a directory for query-cache file? Here is a summary of the
	characteristics of query-cache file:

		- ${PREFIX}/var/jwhois is empty at first (no default file)
		- If you sent a query first, ${PREFIX}/var/jwhois/jwhois.db
		  will be appeared. Note that the file is not a *DB* file,
		  just a *DBM* file.
		- jwhois.db should be written from anybody; shared by
		  all users.

	I have no idea how to treat the cache file. If you committers
	have some better idea, feel free to modify my ports.
