<abstract>
<t>This memo describes version 1.0 of the client/server interaction of RWhois.  RWhois provides a distributed system for the display of hierarchical information.  This system is hierarchical by design, allowing for the reduction of a query, and the referral of the user closer to the maintainer of the information.</t></abstract></front>
