Yes, but it has to be parsed, and RIRs have varying whois formats. ARIN vs RIPE whois output, for example. William

You might could modify the CyberAbuse Whois (zcw) client[1] to also output CIDR information. It already outputs range information, so shouldn't be hard to add CIDR support to what it displays. I'll contact the author to see if he could add that, as it would be a useful feature for all. ~reed [1] http://www.cyberabuse.org/whois/ -- Reed Loden - <reed@reedloden.com>
