Isn't that "fwhois <domain>@<server>" ? :-)
----^
I think the inventor of fwhois should have nasty things done to the
arguments of every command he ever types again!
You can still get the *real* whois client from most any *BSD, or from
the InterNIC ftp site. You can also find the much more advanced RIPE
version too (of which a slightly modified version is now in
NetBSD-current too).
ftp://rs.internic.net/netprog/whois.c
ftp://ftp.ripe.net/tools/ripe-whois-tools-2.4.tar.gz
However wouldn't just quoting the so-called "domain" portion make a
multi-word query like that work with fwhois?
