Improved whois support for GNU Emacs

This package complements (does not replace) the standard whois functionality of GNU Emacs. It provides:

• A whois-mode with font-lock highlighting to make whois responses easier to read.

• A whois-shell command to make a whois query using the system whois program instead of Emacs' own (often not up to date) whois client.

• A whois-expand command to repeat the last whois query using the domain registrar's own whois server.

To replace Emacs' own whois command with the one from this package:

(when (require 'whois nil t) (defalias 'whois 'whois-shell))
