This memo describes version 1.0 of the client/server interaction of
RWhois.  RWhois provides a distributed system for the display of
hierarchical information.  This system is hierarchical by design,
allowing for the reduction of a query, and the referral of the user
closer to the maintainer of the information.

This memo provides information for the Internet community.  This memo
does not specify an Internet standard of any kind.  Distribution of
this memo is unlimited.

This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.
Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list
should be sent to IETF-REQUEST@CNRI.RESTON.VA.US.  Requests to be
added to or deleted from the RFC-DIST distribution list should
be sent to RFC-REQUEST@NIC.DDN.MIL.
