I guess that I must have a very old whois client, because it objected to most of the command line options you listed.
What's happening here is that your local whois program is parsing the CLI options instead of passing them straight on to the whois server. The trick is to put what you want the whois server to see in quotation marks, and then put in a space at the beginning so that the local whois client won't think that you're passing cli arguments to it instead. I.e. % whois -h whois.ripe.net " -BGi or AS3333" Nick
