The /WHOIS command is not a name server -- it is a whois service; this is something that has yet to be corrected with bitlib.

GET WHOIS PACKAGE from [log in to unmask] Append the LOCALCMD file to the LOCALCMD FILE, append HELPCMD to the HELPCMD FILE (I think), install the other 2 files on the program disk, and poof! all done. /mrg
