If the GNU one is as smart as its project page says it is, I suppose not :-). Well, OK, I suppose one reason is that the BW version is written in Perl and is thus probably easier to package than a version that needs to be compiled. Also, why the heck does the GNU whois source include a "mkpasswd" program? I can't see how the two are related. On the flip side, however, I notice that the GNU version is internationalized, and I don't know if the BW version is. jik
