Version 2.2 of GeekTools SuperWhois is now available at
www.geektools.com under the software icon.
RELEASE NOTES:
1) All 3 apps (web-based, proxy (source), and Windows client) answer for
101 g-tld and cc-tlds.
2) V2.2 takes care of all registrars in the .com .net and .org g-tlds,
by first examining crsnic, then querying the relevant whois server. If
you find problems, let us know.
NOTE: There are a number of cc-tld whois servers that *only* provide a
web interface. We're trying to work with their 'managers' to create a
command-line whois. As we convince them, we'll add them. In the interim
we'll try and create a set of links to them off the geektools whois
page.
3) To control spammers, the daily limit per source-ip through the proxy
and web versions is set at 50. If you would like this number increased,
bribe us at complaints@centergate.com, and give us real contact
information for you, plus a promise that you won't use the service for
spam reasons. We monitor, and Guido and Sal enforce the rules ;-)
4) http://www.geektools.com no longer spawns a seperate browser session
for applications (enough of you complained).
As always, updates and suggestions to complaints@centergate.com
