System name:		bill-the-cat
Type and version:	SPARC/Classic 7.7G
Display type:		cgthree

What were you trying to do?
	whois as 86

What's wrong:
	usage: whois [ -h host ] name

What should have happened:
	whois "as 86" works correctly, but it shouldn't require the
quotes.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	run whois on a non-Solaris machine.
