I actually got RWHOIS working a while back. But then faced with the prospect of loading it up, I decided that ARIN templates were actually easier to use.
The rwhois software from about 10 years ago was very difficult to work with and it periodically crashed to boot. I used it because I already had my allocation data in a handy machine-readable form and could write software which would wholesale convert that database into what rwhois wanted to see. That way I didn't have to write something to detect changes and "update" the SWIP templates. I could just push a completely fresh database into rwhois. Had I needed to import the data by hand, there's no way: I would have used the SWIP templates. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D.
