=========================================== SmartWhois for Windows 95/98/NT version 2.1 URL: http://www.tamos.com/ Copyright © 1999, TamoSoft, Inc. =========================================== September 6, 1999 ======== CONTENTS ======== - About SmartWhois - System Requirements - Installing SmartWhois - Uninstalling SmartWhois - Ordering - License Agreement - Contacting Us - What's New in Version 2.1 - Other Products by TamoSoft ================ About SmartWhois ================ SmartWhois is a useful network information utility that allows you to find out all the available information about an IP address or a hostname, including country, state or province, city, name of the network provider, administrator and technical support contact information. Unlike standard Whois utilities, SmartWhois can find the information about a computer located in any part of the world, intelligently querying the right database and delivering all the related records within a few seconds. If a user is not satisfied with the results found in database he can have the program query a specific user-defined name server. SmartWhois can save obtained information to an archive file. Users can load this archive the next time the program is launched and add more information to it. This feature allows you to build and maintain your own database of IP addresses and hostnames. SmartWhois is capable of caching query results which reduces the time needed to query an address: if the information is in the cache file it is immediately displayed and no connections to name servers are required. =================== System Requirements =================== - 486DX2-66 CPU - Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0 - 8 MB RAM - 0.5 MB of free disk space - Standard Microsoft TCP/IP stack ===================== Installing SmartWhois ===================== - Double-click sw2.exe to execute it. - Setup will guide you through the rest of the installation process. ====================== Unistalling SmartWhois ====================== - Choose Uninstall from the SmartWhois program group.
