The latest episode in my ongoing series of stupid lisp tricks is a toy
implementation of the whois(1) command.  It runs in ACL 5.0.1 (and
uses Franz's socket library).

It's at http://www.thoughtstuff.com/rme/lisp.html#whois

you might want to look at url.lsp in
http://www.podval.org/~sds/data/cllib.zip
it has `with-open-url' and implements whois based on it.

Hi,
     thanks for the "stupid trick", I 'm just trying to understand socket
programming in lisp and I was pleasantly surprised to see this code.  I wish
that more good lisp programmers wouldn't be to shy to send in their "stupid
tricks", whatever the topic.

greetings,

Jans Aasman
