Even the latest version of the real whois isn't quite that old yet! ;-) I had no idea! Congratulations at least for having your code survive for that long. That might also explain why I wasn't able to find a canonical distribution site for the source code. Sometimes I wonder about the tastes of some of those who make up Linux distributions. Other times I wonder whether or not they've just got a hate on for anything from *BSD! :-) (Oh how I pine for the idea of a single distributed rwhois-style database where a simple query would always find the answer no matter who's whois data it was!) -- Greg A.
