WHOIS contains a single function WHOIS[NAME;FILES] which looks up NAME in all the FILES and prints out the entries for NAME. FILES may be a single filename instead of a list. If FILES is NIL, then the value of WHOISFILES is used. WHOISFILES is initialized to PARCPHONE.TTY, so WHOIS(NAME) will simply look NAME up in the Parc phone directory. A file entry is delimited by the conventions used for that directory: any line which begins with something other than a space is considered to start a new entry. Larry
