I use Launchy (a keystroke launcher similar to GnomeDo, Quicksilver, etc) and it's Runner plugin with some bat scripts that reference the builtin whois DOS/CLI command to create my own.
So for example, to look up an IP at ARIN I just hit my hotkey (Atl-Space) and type arin <tab> <IP> enter. My bat script really just runs whois, sizes the command prompt window, and waits for user input before disappearing.
I'm happy to share my scripts off list if you are interested.

I am looking for a Window 7 GUI utility that does raw whois - not the standard domain lookup, but rather allows me to specify and change the whois server I am talking to and allows me to customize the whois search string for IPs or ASNs or anything else a whois server will accept, like: "-B -G as378".
I know of ezwhois but am looking for something better (for example - they don't have whois.ripe.net listed - one can add it but not save it).
Thanks, Hank
