Using whois you can get information on a domain name (whois redhat.com), IP addresses (whois 1.2.3.4), and more. This tool is commonly used to determine the owner of a domain or block of addresses, as well as get their contact information. SOURCE =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D The latest stable version of GNU Whois can be found at: http://www.gnu.org/directory/whois.html The latest non-stable version can be found at: http://www.linux.it/~md/software/ INSTALLATION =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. To select the whois package click on the "Net" category and click on the "skip" field until 4.6.14-1 is displayed. The setup.exe program will figure out what needs to be updated on your system and will install newer packages automatically. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: cygwin@cygwin.com. I would appreciate it if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly. If you want to make a point or ask a question, the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place.
