I tried several and found that jwhois works well. It even handles the two-netblock case, which I couldn't figure out on Linux whois. It does have a problem with my IPv6 address. I have to specify arin.net to get info on that. I've sent a report to the bug email. Pierre -- La sal en el mar es más que en la sangre. Le sel dans la mer est plus que dans le sang.
