====================
About SmartWhois 2.0
====================
SmartWhois 2.0 is a useful network information utility
that allows to find out all the available information
about an IP address or a hostname, including country,
state or province, city, name of the network provider,
administrator and technical support contact information.

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.
