About:
BW whois is a modern whois client that works as a full-featured Web application or as a commandline tool. It is flexible and configurable with self-detecting CGI support, multiple security options in the CGI mode, a mature TLD table, database caching (using MySQL or PostgreSQL), and many more options and features.

Release focus: N/A

Changes:
Support for multiple lookups from the command line, netblock references, and generalized stripheaders so that it works with more whois servers.

Works perfectly. I'd even go as far as saying this whois client should replace the "standard" that's used in most distributions. :)

This program works well, and automatically helps to compensate for problems with the new whois system.
I give it a thumbs up, and send thanks the author.
