Unlike standard Whois utilities, SmartWhois 2.0 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 2.0 can save obtained information to an archive file. Users can load such archive next time the program is launched and add more information to it. This feature allows to build and maintain your own database of IP addresses and hostnames. SmartWhois 2.0 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 or higher - 8 MB RAM - 0.5 MB of free disk space - Standard Microsoft TCP/IP stack ========================= Installing SmartWhois 2.0 ========================= - Double-click sw20.exe file to execute it. - Setup will guide you through the rest of the installation process. ========================== Unistalling SmartWhois 2.0 ========================== - Choose Uninstall from the SmartWhois 2.0 program group.
