The errors occur as a result of a dependancy on a running whois server. I am in two minds about how to solve this one. I can remove the tests that are dependant on the server or start a simple server in the background and make the queries against it. The problem with starting a server in the background is I am not sure of a portable process to do that, given this package is being used in NT environments. Paul
