Whois Server

This Unix C code was developed at SRI International under a U.S. government contract to run the Network Information Center. The contract was later given to Network Solutions Inc (InterNIC), along with all the code that SRI developed. This program was the whois server. As far as I can tell this is the code that NSI still runs on the InterNIC, with some minor modifications to access their own database system.
