Developed on a Novell S-Net under Netware 68 v2.02.


Purpose:

A Network supervisor often needs quick access to a Users Password,
User ID number (which is Also the mailbox subdirectory name) and
the users disk usage statistics. Using SYSCON and FILER is a slow
and cumbersome way to get the same information.

This simple utility provides for that need with a program that responds
quickly and simply. No menus, windows, whistles and bells; Just the
information - quickly.

You can place WHOIS in the public directories. It will not provide
a password unless the user running WHOIS is the supervisor or is
supervisor equivalent.
