Hi,
I noticed that the Canadian Internic was being left out of the
whois command line opts, so I thought I'd add it to the options. I really
have no clue who to send this to, or if I should use send-pr maybe, but
it's technically not a problem. Hopefully one of the committers can give
me feedback on where this should go. It's diffed against 3.3-stable, does
nothing but give 'whois -c' for whois.internic.ca, us Canadians feel left
out, cheers. =)
Matt
