Hi By my reading of the man page, the Cygwin whois appears to ignore the --version and --verbose options that are listed in the man page and/or built-in help.
It also appears to me that it ignores the WHOIS_SERVER environment variable:
>setenv WHOIS_SERVER whois.stanford.edu
>whois mbax
No whois server is known for this kind of object.
>whois [EMAIL PROTECTED]
NO MATCH
This is Cygwin DLL 1.5.5-1 running on Windows 2000 SP4.
Cheers
Michael
