Maybe I'm missing something, but what is the value of whois via Tucow's web site as opposed to whois from anywhere else ? In my mind whois is a basic command runnable by anyone, like telnet, ftp, finger, WAIS[1], etc. It's built into every version of Unix. If it doesn't come with Windows, has anyone tried using Tucows OTHER service to look for a whois client ? Or, one of the MANY whois web gateways out there , like http://whois.bw.org/ -- or download his perl code and have your own command line tool or web gateway. -Chris 1) OK, does anyone other than me actually remember WAIS ? ========================================================== Chris Candreva -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- (914) 967-7816 WestNet Internet Services of Westchester http://www.westnet.com/
