Abstract
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.
