>Description:

New awhois port.  Following is the announcement in the Freshmeat Newsletter:

  subject: awhois 1.60
 added by: Greg A. Woods on Jan 14th 2000, 06:00
  license: freely distributable
 category: Console/Networking

 download: http://apps.freshmeat.net/download/947833629/

description:
Awhois tries to figure out what you're looking for and to invoke whois
with the appropriate arguments. It knows how to deal with the new
Registry WHOIS service, it falls back to checking the whois server
specified in the DNS at whois-servers.net, and its interface is just
like the original whois.

changes:
Initial freshmeat announcement; fixes for the whois server for *.de and
a minor bug that made it hard to look up domains that looked more like
IP numbers (i.e. "163.net").

 Our own whois already does this from 3.4-RELEASE onwards.

 You are correct.  Awhois, however, automatically checks the ARIN 
 database when it sees a dotted decimal IP address.  Whois requires a -a 
 flag.  Not a big issue, though.
 
 Please do not implement the port.  Please close.

Originator asks that this PR be closed. 
It might, however, be useful to implement some of the features 
of awhois in our whois.
