ok, what is the normal way to get around this?

freebsd 7-current

% whois -h whois.ripe.net -B -G 147.28.160.0/19 whois: illegal option -- B usage: whois [-aAbdgiIklmQrR6] [-c country-code | -h hostname] [-p port] name ...

whois -h whois.ripe.net -- '-B -G 147.28.160.0/19'

I have since long an alias for this set to echo "-B -G $@" |/usr/local/bin/nc whois.ripe.net 43

annoying eh
