- Description:
-
- Domain Name Search (DNS) is a simple script designed to check the
- availability of domain names. It uses "HTTPJ" to lookup the InterNIC's
- WHOIS database and "GetMouseInput" to detect if you want more details.
-
-
- Usage:
-
- o 'DNS' by itself will show the correct syntax.
- o 'DNS ?' will prompt you for the domain name.
- o 'DNS domain.com' will lookup the domain on InterNIC.

- Please report any bug/suggestion to Amiguy@TheWorld.net
- As usual, send all complaints to NIL:
-
- BTW: I collect PC viruses. Would anyone trade a "DMV-Record-Cleaner"
- for an "IRS-Discounter"? I'll throw in some "Escom-Resurectors"
- as they don't work on Amigas anyway. J.K. :)
-
-
- History:
-
- 1.1 First Aminet upload
- Added GetMouseInput to display InterNIC's response when needed.
-
- 1.0 First version
- Got tired of using my browser to search for available domain name.
- Using "Ping -c1 domain.com" wasn't accurate enough as only active
- servers are listed on name servers, but all are on the NIC.
- Found HTTPJ and made this script which made my life much easier.
