Hi, as Tom has mentioned, the CA domain information is not available
via "whois".  But see below.

I wonder if implementing "whois" would be worthwhile.  Personally I
would rather use a comprehensive distributed directory service.

Regards,
John Demco <CA-Registrar@CDNnet.CA>
CA domain registrar

====================================================
Information about the CA domain is available by electronic mail and by
anonymous FTP.  Included are lists of registered organizations, a copy
of each organization's registration, and an application form.

To retrieve information via anonymous FTP, establish a connection to
ftp.cdnnet.ca, log in with the username "anonymous", and specify your
e-mail address as the password.  When logged in, change to the
"ca-domain" directory with the following command:

        cd ca-domain

Individual files can then be retrieved using the "get" command:

        get <remote filename>

For example:

        get Index
        get Application-form
	get ca.bc.nanaimo.sd68

These files are mirrored on a number of other hosts; you can use
"archie" to find them.

To retrieve information via electronic mail, specify a line of the
following form:

        index ca-domain
or
        send ca-domain <filename> [<filename> ...]

in the subject line or body of an electronic mail message to the
CDNnet archive server. Send this message to:

        archive-server@relay.CDNnet.CA

or in X.400 format:

        S=archive-server; OU=relay; O=CDNnet; P=cdn; A=telecom.canada; c=CA;

Example:

        To: archive-server@relay.CDNnet.CA
        Subject: send ca-domain Introduction Application-form
