Whois R.I.P. (ReImplementation Project)
---------------------------------------

This is a new implementation of the server part of the RIPE database.
This server will take whois requests from clients and retrieve data from the new
RIPE database using SQL queries.

It contains the following subdirectories:
./bin/rip     - The server source code.
./design      - Design documents and information
./doc         - Generated code documentation
./include     - Include files.
./modules     - The source code.
./utils       - Some utilities needed for installation.

The version number is found in the file `VERSION'.
  
Read the INSTALL file for instructions on how to install.

To run:
cd ./bin/rip
rip .properties
