+
+The format of the data files is very similar to the format used by the
+C rwhois server (rwhoisd-1.5.x from www.rwhois.net). It has the
+following differences, however:
+
+* These files may have records separated by blank lines instead of
+ dashes.
+
+* They are not sensitive to trailing separators (whitespace or
+ dashes)
+
+* They do not have to be arranged in any special manner. That is, the
+ C rwhoisd forces (or at least encourages) you to arrange your data
+ files into different directories per authority-area. These can be
+ wherever.
+
+* This server does not support attribute "aliases".
+
+It should be noted that this server in small ways violates the
+description put forth by RFC 2167. In particular, it does not
+establish independent schemas for each authority area. There may be
+other violations as well.
