Isn't that "fwhois <domain>@<server>" ? :-) ----^ I think the inventor of fwhois should have nasty things done to the arguments of every command he ever types again! You can still get the *real* whois client from most any *BSD, or from the InterNIC ftp site. You can also find the much more advanced RIPE version too (of which a slightly modified version is now in NetBSD-current too). ftp://rs.internic.net/netprog/whois.c ftp://ftp.ripe.net/tools/ripe-whois-tools-2.4.tar.gz However wouldn't just quoting the so-called "domain" portion make a multi-word query like that work with fwhois? -- Greg A.
