Wwhois for Windows

User Reviews

• Should be shipped with Windows

  chance2nowNovember 4, 2010

  Pros

  Works exactly like a whois command should

  Cons

  Should include a GUI version as well as the command line version

  Summary

  Why doesn't Windows ship with a whois command? It has nslookup and traceroute (tracert). If MS wanted to license a whois command to include, this would be a great choice.

• Perfect. Should be in the Windows distro.

  Pros

  It works, does what it's supposed to.

  Cons

  Didn't find any.

  Summary

  Does what you expect when you go to the Windows cmd box and type "whois". If you never do that, then you don't need this. If you do type that and always get surprised when nothing happens.... you want this. Thanks to the kind folks who put it here.

  Pros

  It's command line. So, it's quick and ready to use anywhere you are.

  Cons

  The whois servers list is closed. It would be nice if I could add new servers as soon as they appear.

• It is simple, but fast utility

  May 17, 2004

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  It would appear that the reason anyone would rate this poorly is simply because there were no detailed readme file to explain that it is not an installable windows driven program, but a DOS capable utility that works quite smoothly from a command prompt. If you don't know what DOS is, then you probably shouldn't bother trying to download this utility.

• Good for general use!

  Summary

  Well, it's 5 A.M. and I searched for this program. I really like smart whois but needed a free program. This one works well but when tested only gave ISP info and no individual info of address assignment.

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  Definitely a must have for anyone who does a who is search often. Forget about typing in those security keys ever again... just use a simple does command to get immediate answers. =)

  Summary

  Good all round program, and only 60k!! Runs in a DOS prompt and allows easy access to WHOIS information without trailing through slow online databases.

  Summary

  After getting tired of using online sources to find database information I tried this. Copy into a directory and away you go. Brilliant.
