>Description:
WHOIS(1) had no builtin support for whois.internic.ca which is the Canadian
Internic Registry. As a Canadian, I hate to be left out. Therefore, I added
support for whois.internic.ca via 'whois -c [domain.ca]'
Thanks in advance for (hopefully) accepting this addition.
>How-To-Repeat:
N/A
>Fix:
This is diffed against 3.3-STABLE source, has been tested locally by
myself on 3.3-STABLE machine, manpage update also included and tested.
